Blame It on the Times (2022 Remaster)

As you sit there in your loneliness

Confused as you must be

I'm sure a dozen questions come to mind

And if you're wondering why I left you

After all you've done for me

I guess, you'll have to blame it on the times

The many times you had your way

In no matter what the cost

And the many times you took for granted

Love you now have lost

And if I've hurt you, darlin'

I don't mean to be unkind

I guess, you'll have to blame it on the times

That small conceited world of yours

Could never understand

That to want to stand alone is not a crime

And if for one time in my life

I'm acting like a man

I guess, you'll have to blame it on the times

Blame it on the many times

A hiding place, I'd seek

Afraid to say what's on my mind

And ashamed for being weak

So if at last I'm seeing

After so long being blind

I suppose, you'll have to blame it on the times
