Eh-eh-XCX Charli

I blame it on you, I blame it on you
Every lie you tell comes true (true)

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, you're driving me so wild
You're driving me so wild, yeah, yeah

I blame it on you (yeah)

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)

Overall Meaning

can think of Charli XCX's "Blame It On You" as a classic tale of a bad boy relationship. The singer loves and hates the man she's singing about, blaming him for all her troubles while still being unable to resist him. The chorus is straightforward, with her admitting that she blames everything on "you," but despite his bad behavior, she still wants to be with him. She repeats these thoughts several times throughout the song, driving home the idea that she's in a vicious cycle of wanting to leave but never being able to.


The verses of the song evoke the intensity of her connection with this man. She talks about how she met him in the springtime, and he was "so cool" to her. She describes his eyes cutting deep like a sharp knife and how he make her feel all right by "opening [her] legs with the pressure." Although she knows he's bad for her, she describes how he shows up in a new car with fresh wrists, making her feel cool and desired.


The repeated references to "opening my legs with the pressure" and feeling candy floss kisses are evocative of the sexual nature of their relationship. The song paints a picture of a woman who is continually drawn back to a man she knows is bad for her but can't resist. It's a familiar story, but one that Charli XCX tells with a catchy beat and lyrics that are both nostalgic and relevant.

Eu Ponho a Culpa em Você

Eh-eh-XCX Charli

Eu ponho a culpa em você, eu ponho a culpa em você
Cada mentira que você conta se torna verdade (verdade)
Mas eu ainda quero estar com você (você)
Eu ponho a culpa em você, sim
Você, Eu ponho a culpa em você,Eu ponho a culpa em você
Cada mentira que você conta se torna verdade (verdade)
Mas eu ainda quero estar com você (você)
Eu ponho a culpa em você, sim

Nós nos conhecemos na primavera
Tão legal, você era todo legal
Estrela tão brilhante que queima
Você é meu tipo, você é tudo que eu quero
Oh, seus olhos me cortam fundo como uma faca afiada
Abra minhas pernas com pressão e me faça sentir bem
Uh-huh, tão bom, mas eu sei que você é mau para mim
Você tem o controle, e você ama o jogo
Abra minhas pernas com pressão e faça tudo de novo, sim

Puxar em uma coisa nova, pulsos todos frescos como oh meu deus
Vou ficar como um grupo, eu sei exatamente o que eu quero
Garoto mau torna uma garota má em boa, você está me deixando tão selvagem
Você está me deixando tão selvagem, yeah, yeah

Eu ponho a culpa em você, eu ponho a culpa em você
Cada mentira que você conta se torna verdade (verdade)
Mas eu ainda quero estar com você (você)

Você, Eu ponho a culpa em você,Eu ponho a culpa em você
Cada mentira que você conta se torna verdade (verdade)
Mas eu ainda quero estar com você (você)
Eu ponho a culpa em você, sim

Eu fiquei bebada com vinho branco
Te chamar como um apoio
Você está preso em minha mente
Não está certo, o que está acontecendo?
Não costumo fazer isso
Com você, eu sou uma viciada
Abra minhas pernas com pressão e de beijos doces
Uh-huh, tão bom, mas eu sei que você é mau para mim
Você tem o controle, e você ama o jogo
Abra minhas pernas com pressão faça tudo de novo, sim

Puxar em uma coisa nova, se sentem tão legal em seu passeio
Tome drogas, que é um desperdício, seja veloz, adoro quando você dirige
Garoto mau torna uma garota má em boa, agora que esta chapado
Eu estou chapada pra caralho
(Eu te culpo)

Eu ponho a culpa em você, eu ponho a culpa em você
Cada mentira que você conta se torna verdade (verdade)
Mas eu ainda quero estar com você (você)
Eu ponho a culpa em você, sim
Você, Eu ponho a culpa em você,Eu ponho a culpa em você
Cada mentira que você conta se torna verdade (verdade)
Mas eu ainda quero estar com você (você)
Eu ponho a culpa em você, sim

Garoto mau torna uma garota má
Garoto mau torna uma garota má
Garoto mau torna uma garota má
Garoto mau torna uma garota má
Garoto mau torna uma garota má
Garoto mau torna uma garota má

Eu ponho a culpa em você, eu ponho a culpa em você
