Blame it on the whiskey Blamed it on your job Blame the broken promises And the words can cut so strong Blame it on the doctors Blame it on this song Blame it on your childhood But I knew all along And I cried myself to sleep at night Black and blue eyes, I could see Thinking about leaving Then I'd blame it all on me And you twist my arm Twist my arm You shout about the money And you'd shout late at night And you'd shout about my mother You know you're wasting my time I won't tell you that for fear of my life I could never figure out The gifts you bring me hours After you pushed me to the ground And you twist my arm Twist my arm Twist my arm Don't twist it, no don't twist it I prayed that you were leaving Prayed I could turn and run Prayed I had the strength Closed my eyes, I shot your gun You twist my arm Twist my arm Twist my arm Twist my arm
