Leaves change from green to red
Without notes in tune with the time that surrounds
I think that's something that you said
Back a while when you first started coming around
You and I are from different worlds
But that just gave us more to share
You'd ask me where I wanted to be
And I was happy with you just being there
And now I feel we've got some serious talking ahead
And I don't want you to get me wrong
It's just we've become kind of a habit to each other
And this can't keep going on
Blame it on me, on me
Over the past few months, through no fault of your own
I've grown disenchanted, and I've got to go it alone
Seems the natural thing to do
'Cause you can't cling to me
If I'm not gonna stick with you
Now take a look at what it's all coming down to
You act like I'm leaving you on the shelf
Yeah, but I don't know how else to say it
Life's a game and we all got to play it
So I've got to look out for myself
Blame it on me, on me
Blame it on me, baby
All these changes coming on
And I'm feeling it so strong
You know they've got to be real, yeah
It's hard to explain it, baby
I don't know if I can make it, baby
If I can't tell you how I feel
I've been pushing it aside
But I can't sacrifice my pride any longer, oh no-no, no-no
I thought it would subside
Something I could hide
But it's only getting stronger
Blame it on me
Oh my goodness
