Otis Redding
Nobody’s Fault But Mine
[Verse 1]
I couldn't love you your way
Still you came to see me day by day
But now I miss you all the time
No heart could be sad as mine
Ain't nobody's fault but mine, yeah
[Verse 2]
What will I do tomorrow
Burdened down and suffering with my sorrow?
Crying ain't gonna help me now
I made a mistake anyhow
Ain't nobody's fault but mine
[Bridge]
One day, I've got to pay for my mistakes, yeah
By and by, by and by, yeah
It's gonna carry me straight to my grave, ooh
By and by, by and by
[Verse 3]
Instead of you tryin' to spend my money
Yet your favorite word was to call me "honey"
And I was just a doggone fool, trying to be so doggone cool
Ain't nobody's fault but mine, yeah
[Outro]
I did it, yeah
Made a big mistake, y'all
It's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault but mine
I did it, something wrong to the girl
Nobody's fault but mine
I made a big mistake, mistake
It's nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
I did it, yeah, myself, yeah
Nobody's fault but mine
I did it
Nobody's fault but mine
