Verse 1:
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool.
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
Chorus 1:
I'm only payin' the price,
For a trip I took to paradise.
'Cos I looked into a pair of eyes,
And what I thought was the look of love,
(The look of love), (the look of love),
(n.)
Was only hurt in disguise.
Too bad I didn't realise, oh, but don't apologize, no, 'cos...
Verse 2:
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool; I should've did it myself.
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
Chorus 2:
I think it's pretty plain:
Holdin' you would take a ball and chain.
Every bet I made was all in vain,
'Cos what I thought was an ocean of love,
(Ocean of love), (ocean of love),
(n.)
Was just a wee drop of rain.
Too bad that it couldn't rain,
Oh, but you don't have to explain, no, 'cos...
Verse 3:
(n.)
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool; I should've did it myself.
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool; that's the thing to do.
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.

Chorus 3:
I said... what I thought was sure to last,
(Was sure to last), (was sure to last),
(n.)
Was just a minute instead.
Too bad that I got misled,
But you don't have to hang your head, no, 'cos...
Coda:
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool; I should've did it myself.
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
I don't blame you at all, 'cos you played it cool; that's the thing to do.
You don't owe me a thing, 'cos I played the fool, no no no, no no.
