It Wasn't My Fault 1916 "Love O' Mike"

I always thought girls should not be,
the slaves of love, but fancy free,
That was before you came along;
Of course, I see now I was wrong.

It wasn't your fault,
it wasn't my fault,
it wasn't anybody's fault at all,
I saw your eyes,
your wonderful eyes,
and all I did was fall
It wasn't your fault,
it wasn't my fault,
that isn't anybody else to blame,
if you should say you're through with me,
and want no more to do with me,
I've got to love you just the same.

It wasn't your fault,
it wasn't my fault,
it wasn't anybody's fault at all,
I saw you smile your wonderful smile,
it held my heart entralled,
It wasn't your fault,
it wasn't my fault,
that isn't anybody else to blame,
and if what you request me to,
you do not try your best to do,
I've got to love you just the same.

I always laughed at men whose lives,
were ruled by fianceés and wives,
my heart was independent quite;
'till I met you and then good night.

It wasn't your fault,
it wasn't my fault,
it wasn't anybody's fault at all,
I saw your eyes,
your wonderful eyes,
and all I did was fall
It wasn't your fault,
it wasn't my fault,
that isn't anybody else to blame,
if you should say you're through with me,
and want no more to do with me,
I've got to love you just the same.

It wasn't your fault,
it wasn't my fault,
it wasn't anybody's fault at all,
I saw you smile your wonderful smile,
it held my heart entralled,
It wasn't your fault,
it wasn't my fault,
that isn't anybody else to blame,
and if what you request me to,
you do not try your best to do,
I've got to love you just the same.
