They`ve Only Themselves To Blame Lyrics

I'm afraid that from today our meeting

 Must be temporarily postponed

 It seems our parents followed us one evening

 Caught us walking one another home

 Now I have been confined till further notice

 Told I should be thoroughly ashamed

 And for all the good that it will do me

 They've only themselves to blame

 

 I don't understand a word they're saying

 Telling me it's for our own good

 Do they think that we're just children playing

 How can we be so misunderstood

 

 I am a man the same as any other

 Younger though I may be in my years

 Tell me I'm a child who should know better

 And you won't see me holding back the tears

 Can't they get it through their heads I love you

 Must I try so hard to explain

 If we're reported missing in the morning

 Then they're only themselves to blame

 They've only themselves to blame
