The sun goes down the same as it did beforenThe roses die as their petals fall to the floornThe opera was always an awful borenSo don't blame mennYour poetry was never in vast supplynSo if you're less than inspired, I wouldn't crynYour broken heart is hardly the reason whynSo don't blame mennYou weren't as good at dancing as you evidently thoughtnYou swear that you were charming once, I promise you were notnSo if you're treated badly now, I'd scarcely be surprisednYou're seen for what you really are, it's time you realizednIf you feel you're finally going graynYou were a long time ago, that should make your daynYour dog was never your best friend anywaynSo don't blame mennYou've never thought of anything original beforenSo why should you be startled if you can't think anymorenAnd getting out of bed is now a challenge on its ownnAnd eating's even harder, I don't care, leave me alonenI know a woman's power is undeniednAnd if I ruined your life I'd be filled with pridenYet I could not harm you even if I triednSo don't, don't, don't blame menDon't blame me
