Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Blame it on me
Hold up my faults for all to see
Truth is love's first casualty
Blame it on me
[Verse 2]
Blame it on me
It's not the way love is supposed to be
How can you so casually
Blame it on me?
[Verse 3]
Blame it on stars
Shining like headlights from a million cars
Strung like jewels from here to Mars
Blame it on stars
[Verse 4]
Blame it on time
The fugitive, the vagabond, it's the perfect crime
Poured like sand through your hands and mine
Blame it on time
[Verse 5]
How can you talk that way?
Just turn around and walk away
Your words, they sting so heartlessly
So go ahead, be free, blame it all on me
[Verse 6]
But one summer night
When my door is open and the moon is new
And some sad melody comes stealing through
And my heart should break in two
[Verse 7]
If my heart should break in two
Oh baby, ooh
Oh baby, I'm gonna blame it on you
Blame it on you
[Verse 8]
I'll blame it on you, baby
