I'VE ONLY MYSELF TO BLAME
David Mann (m) Redd Evans (l)  1947

as rec by Doris Day 1948

also rec by The Nat "King" Cole Trio '47


I've only myself to blame
'Cause we're through,
I've only myself to blame!
What good would it do
To blame someone who
Depended on you, to be fair?

I should have been glad
For once to have had
A love I'd no right to claim!
But I played it smart,
Then you broke my heart,
And I've only myself to blame,
What a shame!

I've only myself to blame
'Cause we're through,
I've only myself to blame!
What good would it do
To blame someone who
Depended on you, to be fair?

I should have been glad
For once to have had
A love I'd no right to claim!
But I played it smart,
Then you broke my heart,
And I've only myself to blame,
What a shame!
I've only myself to blame!
