If I expected love when first we kissed,
Blame it on my youth.
If only just for you, I did 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 all night and day,
Blame it on my youth.
If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray,
Blame it on my youth.
If I cried a little bit when I first learned the truth,
Don't blame it on my heart,
Blame it on my youth.
[Repeat last two stanzas]
