Verse 1
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool.
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
Chorus 1
I'm only payin' the price, for a trip I took to paradise.
'Cos I looked into a pair of eyes,
And what I thought was the look of love,
(The look of love), (the look of love),
Was only hurt in disguise.
Too bad I didn't realise, oh, but don't apologise, no, 'cos...
Verse 2
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool; I should've did it myself.
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
Chorus 2
I think it's pretty plain; holdin' you would take a ball and chain.
Every bet I made was all in vain,
'Cos what I thought was an ocean of love, (ocean of love), (ocean of love),
Was just a wee drop of rain... too bad that it couldn't rain,
Oh, but you don't have to explain, no, 'cos...
Verse 3
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool;
I should've did it myself.
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool; that's the thing to do.
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
Interlude
Chorus 3
I said... what I thought was sure to last,
(Was sure to last), (was sure to last),
Was just a minute instead... too bad that I got misled,
But you don't have to hang your head, no, 'cos...
Coda
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool;
I should've did it myself.
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool; that's the thing to do.
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
