Blame on Me

My grandma used to tell me, she used to say

"When your own dog get to barkin' at you

Baby, I want you to understand something

That means somebody else's feet."

Listen

When your own dog get to barkin' at you

Gimme somebody else's feet

I did wanna believe it

Even a blind man can see

That my woman been cheatin'

Fool me once, yeah, that's a shame on you

Fool me twice, yeah, that's a shame on me

She ain't the woman that she used to be

But I'ma put the blame on me (I'ma put the blame on)

When your own dog get to barkin' at you

Gimme somebody else's feet (somebody else's feet)

I did wanna believe it

Even a blind man can see

That my woman been cheatin' (my woman been cheatin')

Fool me once, yeah, that's a shame on you

Fool me twice, yeah, that's a shame on me

She ain't the woman that she used to be

But I'ma put the blame on me (I'ma put the blame on)

I can tell by the look in your eye

You got a lot to say

So I'ma get this off my chest

And let it fly out the window

My new karma gonna come up

But damn, she had it from the day

Too busy jumpin' in crowds

Forgot about center stage

I heard you feelin' so unsure (unsure)

I heard you feelin' so insecure

But to see you walkin' out that door

I know your heart can't take no more

I ain't gonna sit on this song

And talk about the things I do (talk about the things I do)

I'ma talk about the things that I didn't

(Talk about the things that I didn't)

It's amazing

All the small things I was missin'

She didn't care about no money

All she wanted was time (and attention)

And me not knowin' another man

Was around that corner

Waitin' to catch me slippin' (waitin' to catch me slippin')

Say you can promise her the moon

The stars, the sun, the sky, and all the above

But don't forget about the loyalty

The respect and the trust that come with the love

They say you live and you learn (live and you learn)

Either you crash or you burn (either you crash or you burn)

But you don't wanna be the one in that chair (in the chair)

When your own dog start barkin' at you (barkin' at you)

Gimme somebody else's feet

I did wanna believe it

Even a blind man can see

That my woman been cheatin'

Fool me once, yeah, that's a shame on you

Fool me twice, yeah, that's a shame on me

She ain't the woman that she used to be

But I'ma put the blame on me

I can't put this on nobody but me

And that's a shame on me

I pretty much opened up the door

And let another man walk in

(That's a shame on me)

Fool me once, yeah, that's a shame on you

Fool me twice, yeah, that's a shame on me

Don't let it be a woman's heart

That's a shame on me

Blame on me
