(You Can't Blame It On) Anybody Lyrics
You can't blame it on anybody
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you
Fallin' down I couldn't notice
She had some glasses on
Few broken bones in the process
I try to keep my attitude
Words of love in broken english
They have a lonesome tone
Didn't understand must be Italian
Must be good looking undressed
You can't blame it on anybody
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you
With lil' care & lil' practice
I got to know her well
Light baritone she sings in a choir
With a bunch of guys out of tune
Day is night, right is wrong
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired x2
Day is night, right is wrong
Love is all, love is evil x2
Day is night, right is wrong
Obsolete, odd is even
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired
Day is night, right is wrong
Love is all, love is evil
Day is night, right is wrong
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired
You can't blame it on anybody
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you
She had some glasses on
Few broken bones in the process
I try to keep my attitude
They have a lonesome tone
Didn't understand must be Italian
Must be good looking undressed
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you
I got to know her well
Light baritone she sings in a choir
With a bunch of guys out of tune
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired x2
Love is all, love is evil x2
Obsolete, odd is even
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired
Day is night, right is wrong
Love is all, love is evil
Day is night, right is wrong
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you

pretty obvious.
you can't blame it on anybody, some things they don't last.
starts off telling us the moral of the story. it was just a ride of a relationship, there's no one to blame, it could happen to anybody, but that anybody was the "you" he's talking to in the chorus. Nice name for the song too, a song about this certain Anybody.
Fallin down I couldn't notice She had some glasses on Few broken bones in the process I tried to keep my attitude
So he met her by falling down, someone broke some bones, maybe he broke her glasses, and he tried keeping his cool, or his pride or whatever attitude he had. I can just imagine it, "Hey, watch where you're going! [Oops, she has glasses]"
words of love in broken english they have a lonesome tone
She was Italian, so they first communicated together through broken English.
didn't under stand, must be italian must be good looking undressed.
cultural stereotyping.
lil' care & lil' practice= a little italian practice she sings light baritone in a choir with a bunch of guys out of tune as a side hobby.
day is night, right is wrong, failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired.
ugh, don't we all get this way? when up feels like it's down and a relationship is just not working out and there's nothing there with a person who you thought had everything. so you declare it a failure, to yourself and her and you both give up on the relationship.
love is all, love is evil.
people say love is everything. but right now, it feels evil. Like a way to get you to hate someone you once loved. very confusing, very upside down. this is the way a bad "close" relationship makes you feel.
You can't blame it on anybody Some things they don't last You can't blame it on anybody I thought I'd entertain you Let me take you to the heart of the city Let me misunderstand you
as a recap, this type of bad relationship between two people who don't speak the same language happens. no one is to blame. at the time, he just wanted to entertain her, show her around Paris, and misunderstand her Italian and broken English.
This song is awesome!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe there are no comments yet. Anybody have any clue as to what the song is about. Its pretty hazy for me, however I feel the its about more than one woman.
I love it, too:) I think it's about realizing that relationships sometimes end, maybe even badly. I think he's just showing this girl a good time, (I thought I'd entertain you), because even if her last relationship ended poorly, she doesn't have to be sad and lonely. She can enjoy a friendly fling. I think it's a lovely song and I particularly love "Congratulations" the instrumental version of this song.
