I Dont Blame You At All

...I DON'T BLAME YOU AT ALL... by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

*Released 1967*

(Original Key: Ab)

Verse 1:

I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool.

You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.

Chorus 1:

I'm only payin' the price, for a trip I took to paradise.

'Cos I looked into a pair of eyes,

And what I thought was the look of love,

(The look of love), (the look of love),

G (n.c)

Was only hurt in disguise.

Too bad I didn't realise, oh, but don't apologise, no, 'cos...

Verse 2:

I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool; I should've did it myself.

You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.

Chorus 2:

I think it's pretty plain; holdin' you would take a ball and chain.

Every bet I made was all in vain,

'Cos what I thought was an ocean of love, (ocean of love), (ocean of love),

Was just a wee drop of rain... too bad that it couldn't rain,

Oh, but you don't have to explain, no, 'cos...

Verse 3:

(n.C)

I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool;

I should've did it myself.

You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.

I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool; that's the thing to do.

You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.

Interlude:

Chorus 3:

I said... what I thought was sure to last,

(Was sure to last), (was sure to last),

Was just a minute instead... too bad that I got misled,

But you don't have to hang your head, no, 'cos...

Coda:

I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool;

I should've did it myself.

You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.

I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool; that's the thing to do.

You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
