Blame It on My Youth

You were my adored one Then you became the bored one I was like a toy That brought you joy one day A broken toy That you preferred to throw away If I expected love When we first kissed Blame it on my youth If only just for you I did exist Blame it on my youth I believed in everything Like a child of three You meant more than anything All the world to me If you were on my mind All night and day Blame it on my youth If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray Blame it on my youth If I cried a little bit When first I learned the truth Don't blame it on the stars Don't blame it on your smile Don't blame it on my eyes Blame it on my youth --- Blame It on My Youth - Sammy Davis, Jr.
