Lyrics:

You were my adored one

Then you became the bored one

And I was like a toy that brought you joy one day

A broken toy that you preferred to throw away

If I expected love when first we kissed, blame it on my youth

If only just for you I did exist, blame it on my youth

I believed in everything like a child of three

You meant more than anything all the world to me

If you were on my mind all night and the day, blame it on my youth

If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray, blame it on my youth

And if I cried a little bit when first I learned the truth

Don't blame it on my heart, blame it on my youth

Beautiful phrasing, meticulous attention to lyrics. I love this large string orchestra playing lush arrangements by Peter Matz.

I know this is a great version and maybe so is Bing Crosby but it is Nat King Cole who owns this song. No big orchestra, just a piano and his trio. It is on the classic jazz album "After Midnight" from the 1950's. It also has the really seldom recorded "You're Looking at Me" on it - now that is a rare double treasure back to back. The album is mostly songs like this which is why it remains one of the biggest selling jazz vocal albums ever. Listen and I think you will agree - he owns the song.

bing did this on his 1934 woodbury radio show. WOW! i don't think he ever recorded it but he should have. jack kapp missed the boat. if you want to hear bing's version go to the OTR (old time radio) website. look for "bing crosby entertains".
