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,
You meant 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 first I learned the truth
Don't blame it on my heart,
Blame it on my youth.
