They've Only Themselves To Blame
I'm afraid that from today our meeting Must be temporarily postponed It seems our parents followed us one evening Caught us walking one another home Now I have been confined till further notice Told I should be thoroughly ashamed And for all the good that it will do me They've only themselves to blame I don't understand a word they're saying Telling me it's for our own good Do they think that we're just children playing How can we be so misunderstood I am a man the same as any other Younger though I may be in my years Tell me I'm a child who should know better And you won't see me holding back the tears Can't they get it through their heads I love you Must I try so hard to explain If we're reported missing in the morning Then they're only themselves to blame They've only themselves to blame Aus Songtexte Mania
