Hey, listen! (Hahaha)
I blame it on you, I blame it on you
Yee!
I just wanna drink you up
Pour you in a silver cup
You know I like to party
But you know I love your body
So many things I shouldn’t do
I hate myself for hurting you (Yeah)
Honestly, I’m reckless
I’m sorry if I’m selfish
Every time you get too close I run, I run away
And every time you say the words, I don’t know what to say
Back, back to the beginning, really wish that I could change
I do, I do, I do
I blame it on your love
Every time I fuck it up
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I can’t help it, I can’t stop
I blame it on your love, I do
Blame it on your love
(Whoa-oh, I blame it on your love)
Sorry I’m a little scared
But no one ever really cared (Uh-huh)
I took you for granted (Yeah, I did)
Just a big misunderstanding
I just want to spend the night (One night)
Sleeping in your bed tonight (Yeah)
Or watch a little TV
I love it when you need me
Every time you get too close I run, I run away (I run away)
And every time you say the words I don’t know what to say (Say)
Back, back to the beginning, really wish that I could change
I do, I do, I do
I blame it on your love (Yeah, yeah)
Every time I fuck it up (Fuck it up, man)
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I can’t help it, I can’t stop
I blame it on your love, I do
Blame it on your love
Blame it on your love (Ya-ya-ee)
I don’t know what’s wrong with this girl Charli, she crazy (Woo)
Gotta blame it on the, blame it on the
Blame it on the juice (Blame it on the juice)
Looking at my booty like you don’t know what to do
Baby, I know that you can’t control it (Control it)
But my body like a swisher, just roll it (Roll it)
I’ma give you one chance to fall in love (Hey)
Give you one chance, don’t fuck this up (Uh)
Ah, ah, oh (Uh-oh, Uh-oh)
I’m tryna catch millions, I ain’t tryna catch feelings (Bitch)
I blame it on your love (Yeah, yeah)
Every time I fuck it up (Fuck it up, man)
I blame it on your love, I do (I do)
I blame it on your love
I can’t help it, I can’t stop (Yeah)
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love (I do)
Every time I fuck it up (Every time I fuck it up)
I blame it on your (Every time we fuck it up) love, I do (I do)
I blame it on your love (Yeah, I blame it on your, blame it on your)
I can’t help it, I can’t stop
I blame it on your love, I do (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hahahaha, okay, that’s it
