don't blame it on me

go blame the rain for your cloudburst of teardrops

blame the wind

say how lonely and cold it can be

you asked to be free

don't blame it on me

go blame the night for the darkness descending

blame the wind

say it laughs at you now that you're free

that's how you want it to be

don't blame it on me

now your life is empty

and only tears remain

your high hopes turned to heartaches

your freedom turned to chains

go blame rain and the wind and the darkness

blame the world for the way things have turned out to be

blame whatever you please

but don't. don't blame it on me

don't blame it on me
