(Don’t Blame It On) The Ones You Love

Don't blame it on the ones you love
Just open your heart to the One up above
Why is it so easy to be so cruel?
Gotta love one another, that's the golden rule

A husband and wife alone in bed
They never speak, not a word is said
And they fall asleep with angry hearts
And they wonder why the love they share
Is falling apart

So don't blame it on the ones you love
Just open your heart to the One up above
Why is it so easy to be so cruel?
Gotta love one another, that's the golden rule

We say she's our sister, we call him our brother
So why must we go right on hurting each other?
There's only one answer to all this hate
Gotta love one another before it's too late

Children at home need our time and love
But they get what is left when there's not enough
Why is it easy to put them last?
Gotta take time to love them, it goes so fast

Don't take it out on the ones you love
(The ones that you love)
Just open your heart to the One up above
Why is it so easy to be so cruel?
Gotta love one another
Gotta help one another before it's too late

Gotta love one another
Gotta love one another before it's too late
