They`ve Only Themselves To Blame — текст песни (Gilbert O`sullivan)

I`m afraid that from today our meeting
Must be temporarily postponed
It seems our parents followed us one evening
Caught us walking one another home
Now I have been confined till further notice
Told I should be thoroughly ashamed
And for all the good that it will do me
They`ve only themselves to blame

I don`t understand a word they`re saying
Telling me it`s for our own good
Do they think that we`re just children playing
How can we be so misunderstood

I am a man the same as any other
Younger though I may be in my years
Tell me I`m a child who should know better
And you won`t see me holding back the tears
Can`t they get it through their heads I love you
Must I try so hard to explain
If we`re reported missing in the morning
Then they`re only themselves to blame
They`ve only themselves to blame
