Blame It on My Last Affair Songtext
von Count Basie

When I walk an′ I'm called
And I don′t turn like that
Should I be introduced
And I sound very flat
It isn't a grudge I bear
Why, blame it on my last affair

If I pass up my plate
Though that 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


It hurt me so and now I don't know
If I′ll ever live it through
While there's no excuse
For this abuse
Coming from one like you

And if I′m walkin' the park
When I should be in bed
If my eyes fill with tears
At each love word that′s said
It's not that I need the air
Why just blame it on my last affair.

And I don't turn like that
And I sound very flat
It isn′t a grudge I bear
Why just blame it on my last affair

Though that 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
