Put The Blame On Me
Eurythmics · Savage
And hug me to bits
I just wanna be kissed so badly
Right there
On my lips...
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me
Why did you close your eyes
When I'm the one that's blind?
Why did you close your eyes?
That was too unkind...
Where are you tonight?
Are you sleeping on your own?
I need to know
Where you are tonight?
Are you sleeping on your very own?
Tell the one that's lying with you
To get right up and go back home.
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me...

As a centerpiece of the Eurythmics' early work, the recording helped establish their reputation for innovative production and bold artistic direction within the genre. Its enduring popularity reflects the song's ability to capture the tension and energy of the era while maintaining a timeless quality that continues to resonate with listeners across generations.
