Go blame the rain for your cloudburst of teardrops Blame the wind, say how lonely and cold it can be You asked to be free Don't blame it on me Go blame the night for the darkness descendin' Blame the wind, say it laughs at you now that you're free That's how you want it to be Don't blame it on me Now your life is empty And only tears remain Your high hopes turned to heartaches Your freedom turned to chains Go blame the rain for your cloudburst of teardrops Blame the wind, say how lonely and cold it can be You asked to be free Don't blame it on me Now your life is empty And only tears remain Your high hopes turned to heartaches Your freedom turned to chains Go blame the rain and the wind and the darkness Blame the world for the way things have turned out to be Blame whatever you please But don't Don't blame it on me Don't blame it on me Don't blame it on me Don't blame it on me Don't blame it on me
