Blame It on My Youth Lyrics

The tears I cried for you could fill an ocean
But you don't care how many tears I cry
And though you only lead me on and hurt me
I couldn't bring myself to say goodbye
'Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the ru-u-ule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
I told myself it's best that I forget you
Though I'm a fool at least I know the score
Yet darlin' I'd be twice as blue without you
It hurts but I'd come runnin' back for more
'Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the ru-u-ule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
Someday you'll find someone you really care for
And if her love should prove to be untrue
You'll know how much this heart of mine is breakin'
You'll cry for her the way I cry for you
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the ru-u-ule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool

Lipstick On Your Collar

The tears I cried for you could fill an ocean
But you don't care how many tears I cry  
And though you only lead me on and hurt me  
I couldn't bring myself to say goodbye    
'Cause everybody's somebody's fool  
Everybody's somebody's plaything  
And there are no exceptions to the ru-u-ule  
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool    
I told myself it's best that I forget you  
Though I'm a fool at least I know the score  
Yet darlin' I'd be twice as blue without you  
It hurts but I'd come runnin' back for more    
'Cause everybody's somebody's fool  
Everybody's somebody's plaything  
And there are no exceptions to the ru-u-ule  
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool    
Someday you'll find someone you really care for  
And if her love should prove to be untrue  
You'll know how much this heart of mine is breakin'  
You'll cry for her the way I cry for you    
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool  
Everybody's somebody's plaything  
And there are no exceptions to the ru-u-ule  
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
