Lyrics
You were my adored one, Then you became the bored one, And I was like a toy that brought you joy one day, A broken toy that you preferred to throw away.

If I expected love when first we kissed, Blame it on my youth. If only just for you I did exist, Blame it on my youth. I believed in everything, Like a child of three. You meant more than anything, All the world to me. If you were on my mind both night and day, Blame it on my youth. If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray, Blame it on my youth. And if I cried a little bit when first I learned the truth, Don't blame it on my heart, Blame it on my youth.
