"The Blame's On Me" lyrics
"The Blame's On Me"
They call me lucky, but I don't know why
I ain't been lucky since the day you said goodbye
This is the most luck I ever had
If this is good luck, don't show me bad
They call me crazy, and it might be true
Ain't nothin' crazy 'bout the way I feel for you
You drove me crazy walkin' out the door
I don't think I'm crazy
I don't think no more
I wrecked my karma livin' way too fast
Tryin' to catch the future 'fore it's in the past
It goes by so quick, you hardly see
I think the universe is guilty
The blame's on me
I never promised her a diamond ring
Come to think, I never promised her a doggone thing
A most unpromising kind of affair
She watched it crawl through the stall
And she left it there
Can't say I blame her
I'd have done the same
I shoulda listened to the first rule of the game
The only rule that you really need
It goes, "This ain't a game, it's the life you lead"
My friends all tell me that it's no big deal
Reality is not about the way you feel
If it ain't in the cards and the stars ain't aligned
It's the universe that's guilty
The blame's all mine
My friends all tell me that it's no big deal
Reality is not about the way you feel
If it ain't in the cards and the stars ain't aligned
It's the universe that's guilty
The universe is guilty
The universe is guilty
But the blame's all mine
