I’ll Take the Blame

100%

I slipped around dear two-timing you
Having fun dear like some guys do
But now I'm sorry and now I'm through
Forgive me darlin' it's up to you

But I can't blame you if you two-time too
Because I'm guilty for the things I do
I danced around love played every game
And if you leave me I'll take the blame

You know it's hard love for a man to do right
In a world of angels wearing blue jeans tight
It's just like heaven it's tempting too
Be careful darling don't let the men tempt you
