The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I stand alone in my room, too blue to even cry
So doggone tired of livin', I could lay right down and die
You're the cause of it all
You're my down fall
Don't blame me for what I do
Baby, you're the cause of it all
Well you promised me your love, a love that would be true
You didn't keep your promise and I don't care what I do
You're the cause of it all
You're my down fall
Don't blame me for what I do
Baby, you're the cause of it all
Well I file my fingernails, staring at the wall
Don't wanna see my friends or anyone that comes to call
You're the cause of it all
Well, you're my down fall
Don't blame me for what I do
Baby, you're the cause of it all
Well the low down dirty blues are closing in on me
My soul is wetted down with so much misery
You're the cause of it all
You're my down fall
Don't blame me for what I do
Baby, you're the cause of it all
