Blame It On Me
Unwritten Law Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My baby's got this set of jet black eyes
I swear that girl's the devil in disguise

I've been
Let down
Burned out
So let me tell you what I'm talking about
I've been
Chastised
Deprived
She's got my skull filled with sentimental lies

She's no good for me
So I'm gonna set her free
I'm gonna let you fly
Bye bye so long my sweet baby

Chorus:
Me, my love
Blame it on me
Me, my love
Say it was me now
Me, my love
Step back, don't jack me up now
Please, my love
Blame it on me

My girl, she's got this jet black hair
When she walks, heads stop, rotate and stare

I've been
Let down
Locked out
So let me tell you what she's all about

There's
Black lies
Fake cries
She's got this bag filled with sentimental lies

She's no good for me
So I'm gonna set her free
I'm gonna let you fly
Bye bye so long my sweet baby

Chorus

Hey I know I'm wrong
So I'll go home
Make me believe
Believe don't tease me, please now
