As you sit there in your loneliness confused as you must be
I'm sure a dozen questions come to mind
And if you're wondering why I left you after all you've done for me
I guess you'll have to blame it on the times
The many times you had your way no matter what the cost
And the many times you took for granted love you now have lost
And if I've hurt you darling I don't mean to be unkind
I guess you'll have to blame it on the times
That small conceited world of yours could never understand
That to want to stand alone is not a crime
And if for one time in my life I'm acting like a man
I guess you'll have to blame it on the times
Blame it on the many times a hiding place I'd seek
Afraid to say what's on my mind and ashamed for being weak
So if at last I'm seeing after so long being blind
I suppose you'll have to blame it on the times
