Píseň: No One To Blame

Interpret:
Anita Baker
Album:
Compositions
(Anita Baker & Vernon Fails)

Yes, I've been around and I watch you, baby

I know you're the one

I see you and I cry inside, darlin'

The moment has come- but I



I try to hide what I'm feelin', baby

Don't want you to know

It's a feeling so deep in my heart, baby

I can't let it go



No one to blame

If I miss this, sho would be a shame

No one to blame, baby

Sho is a shame



There ain't no reason to doubt me, baby

You know I don't lie

I tell you from deep down inside, darlin'

I'm willin' to try, yes I am



This ain't no game that I'm playin', baby

Our love is for real

And I know that it's strong

I know what I feel, yes,



No one to blame, baby

If I miss this, sho would be a shame

No one to blame, darlin'

I miss this, sho would be a shame



No one to blame, baby

Sho is a shame

No one to blame, baby

Sho is a shame, my baby



Life offers no prize, no guarantees

My baby, for missed opportunities

And I won't let you walk by

I've got to try, tellin' you I know it's right

It's the truth, don't you lie, baby-yes



You know that I tried to resist you, baby

But I'm losin' my fight, ah yes

I mean this, I really do mean this, baby

Know that I'm tellin' you no lies



'Cause this ain't no game that I'm playin', darlin'

this thing is for real

And I want you to know that it's strong

I know what I feel baby, yes



No one to blame, baby
