Who's Gonna Take the Blame - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

I take too much abuse from you That's all I ever get Yeah calling a man like you a husband Is just like callin' a wild cat a pet You'd better stop your runnin' around Say nothin', start movin' on But who's gonna take your garbage out When I've packed my bags and gone? Each day you walk all off over me Can't you find another route If you'd start actin' like married man Maybe we could find a way to work things out You'll find your key won't fit the lock If you keep on a keepin' on But who's gonna take your garbage out When I've packed my bags and gone? I know you think I'm a-runnin' round And that's why you're so peeved That's another line of the same ole stuff I hope you don't expect me to believe Go out tonight but don't come back 'Cause you've just lost a home But who's gonna take your garbage out When I've packed my bags and gone? I know you think I'm a-runnin' round And that's why you're so peeved That's another line of the same ole stuff I hope you don't expect me to believe Go out tonight but don't come back 'Cause you've just lost a home But who's gonna take that garbage out When I've packed my bags and gone? Yeah, who's gonna take your garbage out When I've packed my bags and gone? You're gonna miss me honey gal You kiddin' me? You gonna miss me and my Hefty bags Watch me, I'm leavin' now I'll take that garbage half the way up the drive You miss me yet? I'm tryin'

Grass to my knees, give them hope And new joints bend and lean On me when you feel that Strange dream fill my back with Cold night air through my lungs Limping on two legs again Don't you think that I've been giving up? Don't you think that I've been giving up? Change I take the blame I take the blame I move away, away Space in my life give me lots of room to grow Pull my ears back with the words Heart beats hurt You have my chest full of Cold night air in my lungs Limping on two legs again Don't you think that I've been giving up? (Don't you think that I've been giving up?) Don't you think that I've been giving up? Change I take (I take) the blame I'll take (I take) the pain) I move (I move) away, away Away, away

You say I've done you wrong, I've wrecked the happy home. We've tried so many times, we both know when. Let's take another chance, To renew an old romance. And if we love each other, time will tell. Oh, I know, dear, what it means to live without you. These lonely nights are drivin' me insane. But before I'll hurt the one I love so dearly, When people ask what's wrong, I'll take the blame. --- Instrumental --- Well, I know, dear, what it means to live without you.
