YOU CAN'T BLAME HIM
(Chris Andrews)


Sandie Shaw - 1965



So, he's started playin' around with ev'ry girl in town
You can't blame him (You can't blame him, ooh-ooh)
Oohhh, he's bein' untrue, but I'm cheatin' him too
You can't blame him (You can't blame him, honey)

He said make me happy or just let me be
You can't blame him (Aahhh)
Aah-aah, you can't blame him, yes
For the things that he do

If he never do the things he sometimes ought to
You can't blame him (You can't blame him, ooh-ooh)
He often tries so hard to try and make me cry
You can't blame him (You can't blame him, honey)

You know I'm so awkward and I ain't no good
You can't blame him (Aahhh) 
Aah-aah, you can't blame him, yes
For the things that he do

People say to me they just can't understand me
How can I be this way 'bout love
All I have to say is don't try to understand me
I'm really, really happy, yes, I'm really, really happy with him

If he makes me mad by tryin' to treat me bad
You can't blame him (You can't blame him, ooh-ooh)
I know it seems to be he makes a fool out of me
You can't blame him (You can't blame him, honey)

You see I'm the same, I just don't play the game
You can't blame him (Aahhh)
Aah-aah, you can't blame him, yes
For the things that he do

(Saxophone Solo)

You see I'm the same, I just don't play the game
You can't blame him (Aahhh)
Aah-aah, you can't blame him, yes
For the things that he do

You can't blame him, aah-aahhhh
For the things that he do-oo-oo-oo
You can't blame him, no-oh
Fot the things................FADE
