(duet with Smokey Robinson)

SMOKEY:
We had our chance
Lord knows how we've try
To keep our love alive
To keep it strong
So, if I hurt you, girl
Try and understand
We can't go on pretending
When we know it's ending

Blame it on love
On the memories that lingering the night
Love never showed us how to make it right
So, baby
Let's blame it on love tonight

BARBARA:
We had our time
It went by so fast
We try to make it last (make it last)
To make it right

SMOKEY:
We gave it all we had
Girl, don't look so sad

TOGETHER:
Let's go operating (let's go operating)
A happier ending

We can blame it on love
On the memories that lingering the night
Love never showed us how to make it right

SMOKEY:
So, baby

BARBARA:
So, baby

TOGETHER:
Let's blame it on love tonight

SMOKEY:
There ain't no use in loving on
Girl, it's time to let it be

TOGETHER:
We did all we could
And it won't do no good
To blame it on you and me

We can blame it on love
On the dreams we share that won't come true
On the feeling that our love would always
see us through

SMOKEY:
So, baby

BARBARA:
Oh, baby

TOGETHER:
Let's blame it on love tonight---

SMOKEY:
Ohh...

BARBARA:
We can

TOGETHER:
Blame it on love

SMOKEY:
On the dreams we share that won't come true

BARBARA:
On the dreams we share

SMOKEY:
Ooh

TOGETHER:
On the feeling that our love would always
see us through

SMOKEY:
Oh, baby

BARBARA:
Whoa-oh...

SMOKEY:
We can blame it on love

BARBARA:
Blame it on love

SMOKEY:
Blame it on love
