Eh-eh-XCX Charli
I blame it on you, I blame it on you
Every lie you tell comes true (true)
But I still wanna be with you (you)
I blame it on you (yeah)
You, I blame it on you, I blame it on you
Every lie you tell comes true (true)
But I still wanna be with you (you)
I blame it on you (yeah)
We met in the springtime
So cool, you were all nice
Bright star, burnin’ so bright
You’re my type, you’re all I want
Oh, your eyes cut deep like a sharp knife
Open my legs with the pressure and make me feel alright
Uh-huh, so good, but I know you’re bad for me
You got control, and you love the game
But open my legs with the pressure and do it all again, yeah
Pull up in a new thing, wrists all fresh like, “Oh my God”
I’ll stick like a group, I know exactly what I want
Bad boy make a bad girl good, boy you’re driving me so wild
You’re driving me so wild, yeah, yeah
I blame it on you, I blame it on you
Every lie you tell comes true (true)
But I still wanna be with you (you)
I blame it on you (yeah)
You, I blame it on you, I blame it on you
Every lie you tell comes true (true)
But I still wanna be with you (you)
I blame it on you (yeah)
I get drunk on the white wine
Call you, like a hotline
You’re stuck up in my mind
Not alright, what’s goin’ on?
Don’t usually do this
With you, I’m an addict
But open my legs with the pressure and candy floss kisses
Uh-huh, so good, but I know you’re bad for me
You got control, and you love the game
But open my legs with the pressure and do it all again, yeah
Pull up in a new thing, feel so cool up in your ride
Take drugs, what a waste, be racin’, love it when you drive
Bad boy make a bad girl, now that’s got my head so high
I’m feelin’ fuckin’ high, yeah, yeah
(I blame it on…)
I blame it on you, I blame it on you
Every lie you tell comes true (true)
But I still wanna be with you (you)
I blame it on you (yeah)
You, I blame it on you, I blame it on you
Every lie you tell comes true (true)
But I still wanna be with you (you)
I blame it on you (yeah)
Bad boy make a bad girl, bad boy make a bad girl
Bad boy make a bad girl, bad boy make a bad girl
Bad boy make a bad girl, bad boy make a bad girl
Bad boy make a bad girl, bad boy make a bad girl
Bad boy make a bad girl, bad boy make a bad girl
Bad boy make a bad girl, bad boy make a bad girl
I blame it on you, I blame it on you
Every lie you tell comes true (true)
But I still wanna be with you (you)
I blame it on you (yeah)
(Bad boy make a bad girl, bad boy make a bad girl…)
You, I blame it on you, I blame it on you
Every lie you tell comes true (true)
But I still wanna be with you (you)
I blame it on you (yeah)

The Cycle of Desire and Accountability
“Blame It On You” by Charli XCX dives into the intoxicating blend of desire, heartbreak, and self-awareness that often accompanies turbulent relationships. The lyrics are an honest confession—Charli is drawn to someone she knows is bad for her, yet she can’t resist the pull. This internal conflict is highlighted through repeated lines that reveal a pattern of returning to the same person, despite knowing the consequences. The refrain, “I blame it on you,” becomes both an accusation and an admission of her inability to break away.
When Love Feels Like a Game
Throughout the song, Charli paints vivid images of passion and recklessness, from late-night calls to wild drives, and the thrill of emotional highs and lows. The playful yet vulnerable storytelling captures the paradox of feeling alive in a love that hurts. The mantra-like repetition in the chorus mirrors the way love can become addictive, with blame blurring into a twisted sense of loyalty and longing.
