The sun goes down the same as it did before
The roses die as their petals fall to the floor
The opera was always an awful bore
So don't blame me

Your poetry was never in vast supply
So if you're less than inspired, I wouldn't cry
Your broken heart is hardly the reason why
So don't blame me

You weren't as good at dancing as you evidently thought
You swear that you were charming once, I promise you were not
So if you're treated badly now, I'd scarcely be surprised
You're seen for what you really are, it's time you realized
If you feel you're finally going gray
You were a long time ago, that should make your day
Your dog was never your best friend anyway
So don't blame me

You've never thought of anything original before
So why should you be startled if you can't think anymore
And getting out of bed is now a challenge on its own
And eating's even harder, I don't care, leave me alone
I know a woman's power is undenied
And if [bad word] your life I'd be filled with pride
Yet I could not harm you even if I tried
So don't, don't, don't blame me
Don't blame me
