No One To Blame Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yes, I've been around and I watch you, baby
I know you're the one
And I see you and I cry inside, baby
The moment has come-but I
I try to hide what I feel like, baby
Don't want you to know
It's a feeling so deep in my heart, baby
I can't let it go

[Chorus]
No one to blame
If I miss this, sho' would be shame
No one to blame, baby
Sho' is a shame

[Verse 2]
There ain't no reason to doubt me, baby
You know I don't lie
And I tell you from deep in my heart, baby
I'm willing to try, yes I am
'Cause this ain't no game that I'm playing, baby
Our love is for real
And I tell you I know that it's strong
I know what I feel, yes
[Chorus]
No one to blame, baby
If I miss this, sho' would be shame
No one to blame, darlin' if
I miss this, sho' would be a shame
No one to blame, baby
Sho' is a shame

[Bridge]
My baby, life offers no prize
No guarantees, baby, for missed opportunitites
And I won't let you walk by
I've got to try, telling you I know it's right
It's the truth, don't you lie, baby, yes

[Verse 3]
You know that I tried to resist you, baby
But I'm losin' my fight
I mean this, I really do mean this, baby
You know that I'm tell you no lies
This ain't no game that I'm playing, baby
This thing is for real
And I want you to know that it's strong
I know what I feel

[Chorus]
No one to blame, baby
I don't wanna miss this, you know I don't, baby
No one to blame
Sho' is a shame
No one to blame
If I miss this, sho' would be a shame
No one to blame
Sho' is a shame
No one to blame
If I miss this, sho' would be a shame
No one to blame
Sho' is a shame
No one to blame
If I miss this, sho' would be a shame

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
