Count Basie
Blame It on My Last Affair (1st Take)
[Verse 1]
When I walk and I'm called
And I don't turn like that
Should I be introduced
And I sound very flat
It isn't the grudge I bear
Why, blame it on my last affair

[Verse 2]
If I pass up my plate
Though the dish is delish
If I'm handed a bone
And I don't care to wish
It isn't the bill of fare
Why, just blame it on my last affair

[Bridge]
It hurt me so
And now I don't know
If I'll ever live it through
Oh, there's no excuse
For this abuse
Comin' from one like you

[Verse 3]
And if my eyes fill with tears
At each love word that's said
If I'm walkin' the park
When I should be in bed
It's not that I need the air
Why, just blame it on my last affair
[Verse 1]
And I don't turn like that
Oh, and I sound vеry flat
It isn't the grudge that I bear
Why, just blamе it on my last affair

[Verse 2]
Though the dish is delish
And I don't care to wish
It isn't the bill of fare
Why, just blame it on my last affair

[Outro]
I'll blame it on my last affair
