Put The Blame On Me

Eurythmics · Boxed [2005]

Take me to a dark room

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...
