I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
you don't owe me a thing 'cause i played the fool
no no no no no
i'm only payin' the price for a trip i took to paradise
'cause i looked into a pair of eyes
& what i thought was the look of love was only hurt in disguise
too bad i didn't realize, oh but don't apologize, no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
i should've did it myself
you don't owe me a thing 'cause i played the fool
no no no no no
i think it's pretty plain: holdin' you would take a ball & chain
every bet i made was all in vain
'cause what i thought was an ocean of love was just a wee drop of rain
too bad that it couldn't rain, oh but you don't have to explain, no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
i should've did it myself
you don't owe me a thing 'cause i played the fool
no no no no no
i don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
that's the thing to do
you don't owe me a thing 'cause i played the fool
no no no no no
(instrumental)
I said, what i thought was sure to last, to last was just a minute instead
too bad that i got misled, ah but you don't have to hang your head, no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
i should've did it myself
you don't owe me a thing 'cause i played the fool
no no no no no
i don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
'cause that's the thing to do
you don't owe me a thing 'cause i played the fool
no no no no no
