We were just kids,
Playin' in the rain,
When you threw a stone,
And you broke a window pane

You were so afraid,
For what you done,
That I held your hand, little one,
And I wouldn't let you run

Then you turned to me with a look of shame,
On your face,
And your eyes asked a question,
Ever so tenderly

Ohh, who will take the blame?
Who's gonna bear the shame?
Right then, I knew,
How it always be
Put the blame
Put it on me

Ewwww,
At the age of twelve,
You were a fine young thing
But I felt much older,
'Cause I had to shoulder,
The trouble you'd bring

Like the time you pushed Sonny,
And she cried on me
With those same big eyes,
You turned and you looked at me, ohhh
Who will take the blame?
Who's gonna bear the shame?
Right then, I knew,
How it always be
Put the blame
Put it on me

Put it on me
Put it on me

Now you're all grown up,
And you're running wild
And they're surprised,
'Cause all along you seemed,
Like such a sweet child

And there's nothing but bad news,
For? I need
How you've become,
A woman of the street

They give a million and one reasons why,
But when I analyze it,
I know where the real fault lies

Ohhh,
Who will take the blame?
Who's gonna bear the shame?
No doubt about it
Ewww,
This time rightfully,
Put the blame
Put it on me

Who will take the blame?
Who's gonna bear the shame?
Ewww,
Put the blame
Put it on me

Who will take the blame?
Who's gonna bear the shame?
Put the blame
Put it on me
