How Can I Blame You Songtext
von John Legend

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

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
I wanna blame it on you
I wanna blame it on you, yeah
