how can i blame you

Singer:legend, john

i should've known when the cop told me i'm goin' too fast

he told me

speed like that and it's bound to be a hell of a crash

he told me

better late than you don't get there

do the math

oh you oughta be grateful

for what you have

well what if i refuse to learn?

i see a flame

i wanna get burned

how can i blame you

for showin' up at the party?

lookin' through me in that way

saw somethin' inside of me break

saw me wanna make a mistake

how can i blame you

for takin' over my daydreams?

i wanna scream it

i'm sorry

but i can't 'cause i'm long overdue

oh i wanna blame it on you

why's it hard for a man to be satisfied?

oh

i got one glimpse of the green grass on the other side

'cause it's all been comin' to this and goddamn i won't be denied

oh i'm gonna take one more chance tonight

oh

what if i refuse to learn?

i see the flame grow

i gotta get burned

how can i blame you

for showin' up at the party?

lookin' through me in that way

saw somethin' inside of me break

saw me wanna make a mistake

how can i blame you

for takin' over my daydreams?

i wanna scream it

i'm sorry

but i can't 'cause i'm long overdue

oh i wanna blame it on you

did i know my weakness?

did i mount all my defenses?

did i tell you to leave me alone?

how can i blame you?

you saw somethin' inside of me break

you saw me wanna make a mistake

how can i blame you?

you saw somethin' inside of me break

you saw me wanna make a mistake

how can i blame you

for takin' over my daydreams?

i wanna scream it

i'm sorry

but i can't 'cause i'm long overdue

oh i wanna blame it on you

i wanna blame it on you

i wanna blame it on you

yeah
