If I expected love when first we kissed, blame it on my youth. 
 
                                          
If only just for you did I exist, blame it on my youth. 
 
                                     
I believed in everything,  like a child of three. 
 
                                  
You meant more than anything,      all the world to me. 
 
 
                                                 
If you were on my mind both night and day, blame it on my youth. 
 
                                             
If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray, blame it on my youth. 
 
                                                  
And if I cried a little bit when first I learned the truth, 
 
                               
Don t blame it on my heart, blame it on my youth.
