  • So, I was sitting there in the bar and this guy came up to me and he said
    "My life stinks" and I saw his gold credit card
    And I saw the way that he was looking at people across the room
    And I looked at his face and, you know, quite a good looking face
    And I just said "dude, your perspective on life sucks"

    He's got looks that books take pages to tell
    He's got a face to make you fall on your knees
    He's got money in the bank to thank and I guess
    You could think he's living at ease

    Like lovers on the open shore, what's the matter?
    When you're sitting there with so much more, what's the matter?
    While you're wondering what the hell to be
    Are you wishing you were ugly like me?

    Blame it on the girls who know what to do
    Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
    Blame it on your mother for the things she said
    Blame it on your father but you know he's dead

    Blame it on the girls
    Blame it on the boys
    Blame it on the girls
    Blame it on the boys

    Life could be simple but you never fail
    To complicate it every single time
    You could have children and a wife, the perfect little life
    But you blow it on a bottle of wine

    Like a baby, you're a stubborn child, what's the matter?
    Always looking for an axe to grind, what's the matter?
    While you're wondering what the hell to do
    Were you wishing we were lucky like you?

    Blame it on the girls who know what to do
    Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
    Blame it on your mother for the things she said
    Blame it on your father but you know he's dead

    Blame it on the girls
    Blame it on the boys
    Blame it on the girls
    Blame it on the boys
    Blame it on the girls
    Blame it on the boys
    Blame it on the girls
    Blame it on the boys

    He's got looks that books take pages to tell
    He's got a face to make you fall on your knees
    He's got money in the bank to thank and I guess
    You could think he's living at ease

    Blame it on the girls who know what to do
    Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
    Blame it on your mother for the things she said
    Blame it on your father but you know he's dead

    Blame it on the girls
    Blame it on the boys
    Blame it on the girls
    Blame it on the boys
    Blame it on the girls
    Blame it on the boys
    Blame it on the girls
    Blame it on the boys Writer/s: Michael Holbrook Penniman

  • Randy from Rio De Janeiro, -This is the first pop song in at least a decade that I've really taken a liking to. LOVE it during the intro monologue when he ends up telling the guy, "Dude - your perspective on life sucks!"
  • Alyssa from Spring Lake, MiLove love love this song! It's so much fun to jump around to. :)
