LYRICS
Baby don't you blame me now for being late But there was this football match to see Sorry baby if I kept you waiting by your gate Though I love you, you know what football means to me
Baby I'm sorry but when I got back home I found my suit was at the cleaners I had to go down the road to ask them myself And see if my suit was really there
Baby don't you blame me now for being late 'Cause I was unavoidably delayed 'Cause when I got my suit and got back home again A friend of mine was waiting, he just stayed What could I say, I had to ask him in and sit and talk a while What could I do, we cracked a pint or two and baby of course I tried
So baby don't you blame me now for being late 'Cause I was unavoidably delayed And when I got my suit and got back home again A friend of mine was waiting, and he just stayed He just stayed, don't blame me, sorry baby He just stayed, don't blame me, sorry girl He just stayed, sorry baby, don't blame me
