How Can I Blame You Lyrics - John Legend

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? 

You saw somethin' inside of me break 

You saw me wanna make a mistake

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
