As you sit there in your loneliness
Confused as you must be
I’m sure a dozen questions come to mind
And if you’re wondering why I left you
After all you’ve done for me
I guess you’ll have to blame it on the times
The many times you had your way
No matter what the cost
And the many times you took for granted
Love you now have lost
And if I’ve hurt you, darling
I don’t mean to be unkind
I guess you’ll have to blame it on the times
That small conceited world of yours
Could never understand
That to want to stand alone is not a crime
And, if for one time in my life
I’m acting like a man
I guess you’ll have to blame it on the times
Blame it on the many times
A hiding place I’d seek
Afraid to say what’s on my mind
And ashamed for being weak
So if at last I’m seeing
After so long being blind
I suppose you’ll have to blame it on the times
