Don't Blame Me - Bud Powell, Paul Chambers, Curtis Fuller

Ever since the lucky night I found you

I’ve hung around you just like a fool

Falling head and heels in love like a kid out of school

My poor heart is in an awful state now

But it’s too late now to call a halt

So if I become a nuisance it’s all your fault!

Don’t blame me for falling in love with you

I’m under your spell but how can I help it!

Don’t' blame me!

Can’t you see when you do the things you do!

If I can’t conceal the thrill that I’m feeling

Don’t blame;

me

Ican’t help it if that doggoned moon above

Makes me need 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 blame me

I like every single thing about you

Without a doubt you are like a dream

In my mind I find a picture of us as a team

Ever since the hour of our meeting

I’ve been repeating a silly phrase

Hoping that you’ll understand me one of these days

Don’t blame me for falling in love with you

I’m under your spell but how can I help it!

Don’t' blame me!

Can’t you see when you do the things you do!

If I can’t conceal the thrill that I’m feeling

Don’t blame;

me

Ican’t help it if that doggoned moon above

Makes me need 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 blame me
