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
|
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
