It started like any other
I was convinced I'd met the mother
of my children which until then
was generally how it seemed to start
Dream big, aim high, one step at a time.
Experience had taught me that love wasn’t on my side
Do I give in and hide or do I keep searching
pushing through the hurt and try to find the person
and when you find her everything is certain.
She owned me before she'd, she'd even known me
She had me from the start
I was caught in her trap with no way to turn back
like a song on repeat where my heart is the beat
and the beat is my heart
You can blame it on the drink, you can blame it on the mood
I blame it on your eyes, I blame it on the moon
I mean it right now and in the future too
Here's a man who would do anything for you
Date one was a warning, an awkward meeting,
a flustered greeting.
The waiter gave that, 'this is text book' look
like he'd seen it a hundred times before
a pretty girl with an average man
scraping together every penny he can
forking out to prove he was no cheap skate
breaking the bank on her with no chance of a second date.
We chatted over our starter, I joked and she laughed
And quickly the bottle emptied into the glass
Before I knew it I was rambling, frantically scrambling
for words to say, hoping they would come my way
You can blame it on the drink, you can blame it on the mood
I blame it on your eyes, I blame it on the moon
I mean it right now and in the future too
Here's a man who would do anything for you
At the end of dessert I knew the time had come
time to man up, she slurred 'this has been fun'
We leave the candlelight behind us and go out into the night
The warm breeze, the happy trees were a welcoming sight
I don't have a Mercedes, I don't have a limousine
I don't have carriage fit for a Princess or a Queen
Nothing would have been good enough
No chariot could carry her they way she deserved
But she wouldn't let that stop her
A gentle stroll led us past the supermarket
Supermarket. One word that solved it before we'd even started.
Before I knew it she was gone, off in search of adventure
She found a mode of transport and I had to surrender
'Push me' she screamed, as she clambered into the driver seat
in amongst a coke can, an old newspaper and a receipt,
I steered us down towards the town, until we ended at the park.
It was deserted; turns out people don't like the dark.
A woman sat alone on a bench and flagged us down with a wave
She said she liked our spirit, that we were the happiest people she has seen all day.
Here's a woman who is truly happy, I can tell that this is new
But here's a man who would do anything for you
You can blame it on the drink, you can blame it on the mood
I blame it on your eyes, I blame it on the moon
I mean it right now and in the future too
Here's a man who would do anything for you
You can blame it on the drink, you can blame it on the mood
I blame it on your eyes, I blame it on the moon
I mean it right now and in the future too
Here's a man who would do anything for you
