Blame
Calvin Harris · Motion [2014]
Keep on waking
Is that the woman next to me?
Guilt is burning
Inside I'm hurting
This ain't a feeling I can't keep
So blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
So blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
Can't you see it?
I was manipulated by it
Too little to the dawn
I had no choice in this
I was a friend she missed
She needed me to talk
So blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
So blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Oh I'm so sorry
So sorry baby
Yeah
I got defense
Oh I promise (I'll be better this time, I will be better this time)
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
