we were just kids
playin’ in the rain
when you threw a stone
and you broke a window pane
you were so afraid
for what you done
that i held your hand little one
and i wouldn’t let you run
then you turned to me with a look of shame
on your face
and your eyes asked a question
ever so tenderly
ohh who will take the blame
who’s gonna bear the shame
right then i knew
how it always be
put the blame
put it on me
ewwww
at the age of twelve
you were a fine young thing
but i felt much older
’cause i had to shoulder
the trouble you’d bring
like the time you pushed sonny
and she cut her knee
with those same big eyes
you turned and you looked at me ohhh
who will take the blame
who’s gonna bear the shame
right then i knew
how it always be
put the blame
put it on me
put it on me
put it on me
now you’re all grown up
and you’re running wild
and they’re so surprised
’cause all along you seemed
like such a sweet child
and there’s nothing but bad news
from all the friends i meet
how you’ve become
a woman of the street
they give me a million and one reasons why
but when i analyze it
i know where the real fault lies
ohhh
who will take the blame
who’s gonna bear the shame
no doubt about it
ewww
this time rightfully
put the blame
put it on me
who will take the blame
who’s gonna bear the shame
ewww
put the blame
put it on me
who will take the blame
who’s gonna bear the shame
put the blame
put it on me
