Lyrics

f you could see yourself now, baby
It’s not my fault
You used to be so in control
You’re going to roll right over this one
Just roll me over, let me go
You’re laying blame
Take this as no, no, no

You bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
blame, blame, blame
You bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
It’s not my thing so let it go.

If you could see yourself now baby,
the tables have turned
the whole world hinges on your swings
your secret life of indiscreet discretions
I’d turn the screw and leave the screen,
Don’t point your finger,
You know that’s not my thing

You came to bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
blame, blame, blame
You bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
It’s not my thing so let it go.

You’ve got a little worry,
I know it all too well,
I’ve got your number,
but so does every kiss-and-tell
who dares to cross your threshold,
or happens on your way,
Stop laying blame.
You know that’s not my thing.

You know that’s not my thing,
You came to bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
blame, blame, blame
You bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
It’s not my thing so let it go.
You bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
blame, blame, blame
You bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
It’s not my thing so let it go.

You kiss on me, tug on me, rub on me, jump on me,
you bang on me, beat on me, hit on me, let go on me,
You let go on me.
