Gilbert O'sullivan - They've Only Themselves To Blame lyrics

I'm afraid that from today our meeting Must be temporarily postponed It seems our parents followed us one evening Caught us walking one another home Now i have been confined till further notice Told i should be thoroughly ashamed And for all the good that it will do me They've only themselves to blame I don't understand a word they're saying Telling me it's for our own good Do they think that we're just children playing How can we be so misunderstood I am a man the same as any other Younger though i may be in my years Tell me i'm a child who should know better And you won't see me holding back the tears Can't they get it through their heads i love you Must i try so hard to explain If we're reported missing in the morning Then they're only themselves to blame They've only themselves to blame
