Don't Blame Me
The Miles Davis / Tadd Dameron Quintet Lyrics

Ever since the lucky night I found you
From the moment I met you, I knew you were special.

I've hung around you just like a fool
I can't stay away from you even though it might be foolish to keep trying.

Falling head and heels in love like a kid out of school.
I am so deeply in love with you that sometimes it feels overwhelming, like being a lovesick teenager all over again.

My poor heart is in an awful state now
I am emotionally wrecked by my feelings for you.

But it's too late now to call a halt
I am so deeply invested in this relationship that I couldn't walk away even if I wanted to.

So if I become a nuisance it's all your fault!
If I am bothering you now, it's only because I care for you so deeply and can't help myself.

Don't blame me for falling in love with you
I can't help that I am in love with you.

I'm under your spell but how can I help it!
You have bewitched me with your charms, and I am powerless to stop myself from loving you.

Don't' blame me!
Please don't hold my feelings against me - they are out of my control.

Can't you see when you do the things you do!
You have a certain way of doing things that makes it hard for me to resist you.

If I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling,
I am trying my best to hide my feelings from you, but I don't always succeed.

I can't help it if that doggoned moon above
My feelings for you are as natural and inevitable as the moon rising at night.

Makes me need someone like you to love!
I am drawn to you in a way that I cannot explain.

Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be
Your kiss is so full of love and passion that it's impossible for me to resist you.

And blame all your charms that melt in my arms
Your charm and your beauty are irresistible to me.

But don't blame me.
I am not to blame for my feelings, even though they may cause problems for us.

I like every single thing about you
You are perfect to me in every way.

Without a doubt you are like a dream
You are so wonderful that I can hardly believe that you are real.

In my mind I find a picture of us as a team
I envision a future where we are together and happy.

Ever since the hour of our meeting
From the very beginning of our relationship, I knew that there was something special about you.

I've been repeating a silly phrase
I keep saying the same thing over and over again, hoping that you will understand how I feel.

Hoping that you'll understand me one of these days.
I hope that one day you'll realize how much I love you and how much you mean to me.
