lyrics
If I expected love when first we 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 me for falling in love with you
I'm under your spell so how can I help it!
Don't, don't blame me!
Can't you see when you do the things you do!
If I can't conceal the thrill I am feeling,
Don't blame me.
I can't help it if that doggoned moon above
Makes me want someone like you to love!
Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be
And blame all your charms that melt in my arms
But don't, no don't blame me.
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 me for falling in love with you
I'm under your spell so how can I help it!
Don't, don't blame me!
Can't you see when you do the things you do!
If I can't conceal the thrill I am feeling,
Don't blame me.
I can't help it if that doggoned moon above
Makes me want someone like you to love!
Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be
And blame all your charms that melt in my arms
But don't, no don't blame me.

Smooth and virtuosic, uplifting jazz that soars and glitters when it's not grooving along in some heavy dub.
