Blame It On Two Brown Eyes 1934

Something's happened to me
it's as plain as can be;
not feeling right,
can't sleep at night,
It's got a hold on me;
What am I dreaming of?
I guess it must be love.

If I should cut myself while shaving
and croon a song about the skies,
Don't shake your head
and think I'm raving,
Blame it on two brown eyes.
If I should walk into my baker
and ask to see the best in ties,
Don't blame it on the cocktail shaker,
blame it on two brown eyes.
It was raining,
she was pretty,
I met her in the city,
I asked her out to tea;
And before I really knew it,
my heart was going through it,
I'm glad it happened to me.
If I should go each night to dances,
and win each competition prize,
If I get low on my finances,
Blame it on two brown eyes.

If I should cut myself while shaving
and croon a song about the skies,
Don't shake your head
and think I'm raving,
Blame it on two brown eyes.
If I should walk into my baker
and ask to see the best in ties,
Don't blame it on the cocktail shaker,
blame it on two brown eyes.
It was raining,
she was pretty,
I met her in the city,
I asked her out to tea;
And before I really knew it,
my heart was going through it,
I'm glad it happened to me.
If I should go each night to dances,
and win each competition prize,
If I get low on my finances,
Blame it on two brown eyes.

Lips far sweeter than wine,
Smile that's really divine,
Sweetest of dreams
that's what she seems,
I hope she'll soon be mine.
I kissed her once or twice
Now I know paradise.

If you should find me acting stupid
and crooning songs about the skies,
Don't smile and blame it onto Cupid,
Blame it on two brown eyes.
If you should find me washing dishes,
and cooking huckleberry pies,
If you should find me making wishes,
Blame it on two brown eyes.
He was handsome,
he was witty,
I met him in the city
he asked me out to tea;
And before I really knew it
My heart was going through it
I'm glad it happened to me;
If I should dream about a carriage
and sing those baby lullabys,
If you're invited to a marriage
blame it on two brown eyes.

If you should find me acting stupid
and crooning songs about the skies,
Don't smile and blame it onto Cupid,
Blame it on two brown eyes.

If you should find me making wishes,
Blame it on two brown eyes.
He was handsome,

And before I really knew it
My heart was going through it
I'm glad it happened to me;
If I should dream about a carriage
and sing those baby lullabys,
If you're invited to a marriage
blame it on two brown eyes.
