Just Myself To Blame Words & Music GUY JOHNSON I’ve broken every rule I’ve been quite a fool And I got just myself to blame I’ll pick up all the pieces I’m the one with all the weakness I just had to spoil the game Win or lose the time is right We made a choice It’s time to say goodbye Au revoir Auf Wiedersehen my love Go home and tell your Mama You’ve left your lousy lover I will hang my head in shame You say I’m mean and selfish Don’t think that I can help it I got just myself to blame For what it’s worth You can be sure We found the key to open up the door We’ll hit a road we’ve never been before Just one thing before you go How I will survive you’ll never know Guess I’ll just keep on living Aware of what I’m missing I got just myself to blame I’ll do and please just what I like I’ll stay at home or go out for the night With all my friends I haven’t seen a while I might be getting older But this weight is off my shoulder I got just myself to blame
