The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
You're tellin' everybody I'm the one To blame for all the wrong that you have done The day that you walked out and left, didn't say goodbye Who was home alone to sit and cry? It was I, it was I-I-I-I-I I gave you all the love I ever had The only things I got from you were bad The times you didn't show up, the times you didn't call Who was left alone through it all? It was I, it was I-I-I-I-I My love was always yours to treasure and to hold But when you let a love grow idle it will soon grow cold Temptation is too strong to hide, are you really satisfied With my love the way it is? Let me tell you how it is Please come back and try to start anew I know that it's the proper thing to do Darling, if we make up I know we'll never break up Then I know it's only me and you Me and you
