Lyrics
BLAME IT ON COLUMBUS
By Young & Breen
We met by chance at a harvest dance
Underneath the midnight moon
With the bliss of our first kiss
I fell like a lead balloon
Heaven bound sure as the world is round
We explored every avenue
Then it fell apart and broke my heart
But I can't put the blame on you
SO I BLAME IT ON COLUMBUS
IF HE'D STAYED ON THE OTHER SIDE
AND KEPT HIS SHIP DOCKED IN THE BAY
THERE WOULDN'T BE TEARS IN MY EYES
I BLAME OLE CHRIS COLUMBUS
FOR THE HELL I'M GOING THROUGH
IF HE'D MINDED HIS OWN BUSINESS
I WOULD HAVE NEVER DISCOVERED YOU
I was naA_ve to make myself believe
I could keep you satisfied
Feelings got old and love grew cold
Then I knew down deep inside
Heartache bound sure as the world is round
What's a lovesick boy to do
I can't blame myself for what I felt
And I can't put the blame on you
Repeat Chorus
I could blame it on the night, the stars in your eyes
Or that big ole harvest moon
But I can't blame the thrill, the way you made me feel
I just can't blame it on you
