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
