Smokey Robinson - Who's Gonna Take The Blame lyrics
rate meWe were just kids playing in the rain<br />
When you threw a stone<br />
And you broke a window pane<br />
<br />
You were so afraid of what you done<br />
That I held your hand little one<br />
And I wouldn’t let you run<br />
<br />
Then you turned to me<br />
With a look of shame on your face<br />
And your eyes asked a question ever so tenderly<br />
<br />
Oh, who will take the blame?<br />
Who's gonna bear the shame?<br />
Right then, I knew, how it would always be<br />
Put the blame, put it on me<br />
<br />
Ooh, at the age of twelve<br />
You were a fine young thing<br />
But I felt much older 'cause I had to shoulder<br />
The trouble you'd bring<br />
<br />
Like the time you pushed Sonny down<br />
And she cried on me<br />
With those same big eyes<br />
You turned and you looked at me<br />
<br />
Oh, who will take the blame?<br />
Who's gonna bear the shame?<br />
Right then, I knew, how it would always be<br />
Put the blame, put it on me<br />
Put it on me, put it on me<br />
<br />
Now you're all grown up<br />
And you're running wild<br />
And they're so surprised<br />
'Cause all along you seemed<br />
Like such a sweet child<br />
<br />
And there's nothing but bad news<br />
From old friends I meet<br />
How you've become<br />
A woman of the street<br />
<br />
And they give me a million<br />
And one reasons why<br />
But when I analyze it<br />
I know where the real fault lies<br />
<br />
Oh, who will take the blame?<br />
Who's gonna bear the shame?<br />
No doubt about it, oh, this time rightfully<br />
Put the blame, put it on me.<br />
<br />
Oh, who will take the blame?<br />
Who's gonna bear the shame?<br />
Put the blame, put it on me<br />
<br />
Oh, who will take the blame?<br />
Who's gonna bear the shame?<br />
Put the blame
