The lyrics of Michael Jackson's song "Blame It on the Boogie" depict a situation in which Jackson's lover is constantly dancing, leaving him without any affection. He blames the "nasty boogie" for his lover's absence and addiction to the dance. Despite his attempts to resist, the groovy music and rhythm eventually overcome him, leading him to dance with his partner. Jackson's lyrics are a metaphor for the power of music and how it can make us lose control and let go of our fears and worries, making us free and alive.
The chorus of the song is an invitation to let go of our negative emotions and get into the groove, as the lyrics go, "Don't blame it on the sunshine, don't blame it on the moonlight, don't blame it on the good times, blame it on the boogie." The song suggests that the boogie is not a "nasty" thing after all, but rather an escape from life's problems: "This magic music grooves me, that dirty rhythm fools me, the Devil's gotten to me through this dance, I'm full of funky fever, a fire burns inside me, Boogie's got me in a super trance."

My baby's always dancin' and it wouldn't be a bad thing
My partner loves to dance, which is not a problem
But I don't get no lovin' and that's no lie
However, I'm not receiving the affection I seek
We spent the night in Frisco at every kinda disco
We went to various discos in San Francisco for a whole night
From that night I kissed our love goodbye
But that night marked the end of our relationship
Don't blame it on the sunshine
The sun isn't responsible
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Neither is the moon
Don't blame it on the good times
Nor the enjoyable moments we had
Blame it on the boogie
Instead, attribute it to the infectious groove of the boogie
That nasty boogie bugs me, but somehow how it has drugged me
The boogie irritates me, yet it also captivates me
Spellbound rhythm gets me on my feet
The hypnotic beat makes me want to dance
I've changed my life completely, I've seen the lightning leave me
I've had a complete lifestyle transformation, and all negativity is now gone
And my baby just can't take her eyes off me
Now my ex-partner can't help but look at me
I just can't, I just can't
I'm unable to
I just can't control my feet
I can't stop dancing
This magic music grooves me, that dirty rhythm fools me
This enchanting music moves me, and the intense beat deceives me
The Devil's gotten to me through this dance
I'm possessed by the Devil while dancing to this music
I'm full of funky fever, a fire burns inside me
I'm consumed by the exhilarating rhythm, and a passionate fire is burning within me
Boogie's got me in a super trance
The boogie has put me in a state of complete enthrallment
Blame it on yourself
The fault lies with you
Ain't nobody's fault
No one else is responsible
But yours and that boogie
But you and the beat are to blame
All night long
All night
Can't stop that boogie
The music is irresistible
Dancin' all night long
Dancing through the entire night
boogie, boogie, boogie
The infectious groove of the dance that's impossible to resist
You just gotta sunshine
You just need the sunshine
Moonlight
And the moonlight
Good times
And the enjoyable moments
Blame it on yourself
The blame is yours
Yeah, oh boogie
Yes, it's all because of the infectious boogie
