Lyrics
DON`T BLAME IT ON ME
I say wake up, you say let`s go back to bed
I say breakfast, you say you want dinner instead
I like guitars, you say that you must disagree
You say it`s not personal, I can`t help think that it`s me
You`re a woman I think I`m a man
You ask me for something, I don`t think I can
I love some things, I know that you hate
I`m finding it so hard to articulate
Once is regular, twice is just so bleeding rare
You say I can`t find it, sometimes I just don`t think it`s there
You like confrontation, I just can`t deal with the noise
So you keep your anger and I`ll have a night with the boys
Is that opportunity knocking again
If something wants signing,just hand me a pen
That look of derision, you`re sending my way
C`mon spit it out, if you`ve something to say
All that you`re good at is cleaning you`re plate
And then you look puzzled, you`re not losing weight
You think it`s a secret, but everyone knows
That you dye your hair, and you don`t think it shows
You`re a drinker, that`s what makes you so wise
There`s a message, written in your bloodshot eyes
You finally said it, you feel the need to be free
So much time you`ve wasted,but you can`t blame that one on me
The curtain is closing, you`re taking a bow
You try to act humble, but you don`t know how
You`ve got two chances to exit stage right
If we leave it to you, we could be here all night
