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
