Never Put the Blame - Jimmy LaFave

Yes I know that lonely feeling

Leaves your spirit and your soul a’reeling

Yes I know that way of sadness

Turns your heart into madness, yes it will

You ain’t telling me anything

Of the twists and turns that life always brings

'Cause I’ve been hurt and talked down to

Been so ashamed;

I didn’t know what to do

But I never put the blame on you

Yes I know it’s just wasting time

To try to talk it over and make it feel fine

Just because you have lost your place

Doesn’t mean you’ve got to jump out of the human race

Let me say it once again

Nothing lasts forever, it’s got to come to an end

You’ve fallen down

Baby, me too

I’ve felt the pain of being refused

But I never put the blame on you

Yes I know that lonely feeling

Leaves your spirit and your soul reeling

Yes I know that bitter way of sadness

Turns your world into madness every time

You ain’t telling me anything

It feels so real, there’s no need to explain

You’ve been hurt and talked down to

I know you’ve been mistreated but baby, tell me by who

'Cause I never put the blame on you

Not once did I put the blame on you
