you were my adored one
then you became the bored one
and i was like a toy that brought you joy one day
a broken toy that you preferred to throw away. if i expected love when first we kissed
blame it on my youth. if only just for you i did exist
blame it on my youth. i believed in everything
like a child of three. you meant more than anything
all the world to me. if you were on my mind both night and day
blame it on my youth. if i forgot to eat and sleep and pray
blame it on my youth. and if i cried a little bit when first i learned the truth
don't blame it on my heart
blame it on my youth.
