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
