No One to Blame

Yes, I've been around and I watch you, baby

I know you're the one

And I see you and I cry inside, baby

The moment has come

But I, I try to hide what I'm feeling, baby

Don't want you to know

It's a feeling so deep in my heart, baby

I can't let it go, yes

No one to blame

If I miss this, 'sho would be shame

No one to blame, baby

'Sho is a shame

There ain't no reason to doubt me, baby

You know I don't lie

And I tell you from deep in my heart, baby

I'm willin' to try, yes I am

'Cause this ain't no game that I'm playing, baby

Our love is for real

And I tell you I know that it's strong

I know what I feel, yes

No one to blame, baby

If I miss this, 'sho would be shame

No one to blame, darlin'

I miss this, 'sho is a shame

No one to blame, baby

'Sho is a shame

My baby, life offers no prize

No guarantees, baby, for missed opportunitites

And I won't let you walk by

I've got to try, tellin' you I know it's right

It's the truth, don't you lie, baby, yes

You know that I tried to resist you, baby

But I'm losin' my fight

I mean this, I really do mean this, baby

You know that I'll tell you no lies

'Cause this ain't no game that I'm playing, baby

This thang is for real

And I want you to know that it's strong

I know what I feel

No one to blame, baby

I don't want to miss this

Now you know I don't, baby

Be a crying shame

Oh, if I can't, if I can't call your name

In the midnight hour, baby
