Lyrics
Due to certain circumstances
I have used up all my chances
You're not the one I love
And I'm not like the great pretender
I thought I was
Now it's too late to start again
Just say that it's me protecting my heart again
Blame it on me
What a messy situation
Not a night for celebration
You're not the one I love
I'm not like the great pretender
You thought I was
And I was caught up in fantasy
Too long I have tried to be
What I could not be
Blame it on me
And I believe that if someone loved you
That they would always be there
Nothing left for us to talk out
Why can't one of us just walk out
Too late start again
Just say that it's me protecting
My heart again
And I was caught up, too late
In fantasy, too late
Too long
I could not be
Blame it on me
You're not the one I love
I'm not the perfect lover you thought I was
Writer(s): Burt F. Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager
