Blame On Me
Rachael Yamagata Feat. Toots And The Maytals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've hung around you just like a fool
Falling head and heels in love like a kid out of school.
My poor heart is in an awful state now
But it's too late now to call a halt
So if I become a nuisance it's all your fault!
Don't blame me for falling in love with you
I'm under your spell but how can I help it!
Don't' blame me!
Can't you see when you do the things you do!
If I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling,
Don't blame; me.
Ican't help it if that doggoned moon above
Makes me need someone like you to love!
Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be
And blame all your charms that melt in my arms
But don't blame me.
I like every single thing about you
Without a doubt you are like a dream
In my mind I find a picture of us as a team
Ever since the hour of our meeting
I've been repeating a silly phrase
Hoping that you'll understand me one of these days.
Don't blame me for falling in love with you
I'm under your spell but how can I help it!
Don't' blame me!
Can't you see when you do the things you do!
If I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling,
Don't blame; me.
Ican't help it if that doggoned moon above
Makes me need someone like you to love!
Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be
And blame all your charms that melt in my arms
But don't blame me.
"Blame On Me" by Rachael Yamagata Feat. Toots And The Maytals's is a heartfelt and passionate love song that talks about falling in love with someone and being completely under their spell. The song begins with the singer admitting to being a fool for hanging around the person they love, falling head over heels like a kid in school. They are now in an awful state but can't call a halt to their love.
The chorus emphasizes how the singer cannot help but fall in love with this person and be under their spell due to the thrilling feelings that they feel when they are together. They blame the person's kiss and charms that melt in their arms for their infatuation, but they cannot be blamed for falling in love.
The song ends with the singer hoping that the person they love will understand their feelings one day. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and Rachael Yamagata's raw vocals combined with Toots and The Maytals's reggae flair give it additional depth.

Ever since the lucky night I found you
From the moment I met you, my life changed for the better
I've hung around you just like a fool
I can't help but stick around you even if it makes me look foolish
Falling head and heels in love like a kid out of school.
My love for you is so intense that I feel like a naïve schoolboy who is powerless against it.
My poor heart is in an awful state now
My heart is in a bad shape because of my love for you
But it's too late now to call a halt
It's too late for me to stop loving you, and I don't want to either
So if I become a nuisance it's all your fault!
If I become a nuisance, don't blame me because it's your fault for making me love you so much
Don't blame me for falling in love with you
I can't help but love you, so don't put the blame on me
I'm under your spell but how can I help it!
Your love has enchanted me, and I can't resist it
Can't you see when you do the things you do!
You have a certain charm and way about you that makes me fall deeper in love with you
If I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling,
I can't hide the excitement that your actions bring out in me
I can't help it if that doggoned moon above
The moon seems to have a hold on me, making me crave the love that only you can provide
Makes me need someone like you to love!
I need your love like the moon needs the stars
Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be
I'm helplessly drawn to your sweet, irresistible kisses
And blame all your charms that melt in my arms
Your charming personality and the way you fit so well in my arms makes me fall deeper in love with you
But don't blame me.
Don't put the blame for my love on me, because it's a force of nature beyond my control.
