Smokey Robinson - Who's Gonna Take The Blame lyrics

We were just kids playing in the rain When you threw a stone And you broke a window pane You were so afraid of 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 Oh, who will take the blame? Who's gonna bear the shame? Right then, I knew, how it would always be Put the blame, put it on me Ooh, 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 down And she cried on me With those same big eyes You turned and you looked at me Oh, who will take the blame? Who's gonna bear the shame? Right then, I knew, how it would 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 old friends I meet How you've become A woman of the street And they give me a million And one reasons why But when I an*lyze it I know where the real fault lies Oh, who will take the blame? Who's gonna bear the shame? No doubt about it, oh, this time rightfully Put the blame, put it on me. Oh, who will take the blame? Who's gonna bear the shame? Put the blame, put it on me Oh, who will take the blame? Who's gonna bear the shame? Put the blame
