Thing A Week #11 - Don't Blame Me - Mike Lombardo

This one still needs some polish, but it's kind of near what I'm going for.

Think of it as a sequel to 'Song for the Dumped' by Ben Folds Five

sarah said your friends are getting mad
you're always blowing them off
to hang out with your man
I've told you many times before
you can't treat your friends like that

You're always talking about problems
listen, baby, everyone's got them

I'm not saying that I'm always right
but it's apparent you're not caring that I'm offering advice
they haven't started giving you the third degree
but if they do
honey don't blame me

you called me crying again
you guys had a fight, you bit off his head
i've told you many times before
you can't treat your man like that

You're always talking about problems
listen, baby, everyone's got them

I'm not saying that I'm always right
but it's apparent you're not caring that I'm offering advice
you're saying that he'll take you back but there's no guarantee
so if he won't
honey don't blame me

you really need me this time, yea I bet
he wants to take some time off and reconnect
Ive told you many times before, you can't treat your man like that

You're always talking about problems
can't you see, that's why you've got them

I'm not saying that I'm always right
but it's apparent you're not caring that I'm offering advice
when he's gone and left and told his whole family
that you're a bitch
then honey don't blame
honey don't blame me
cause you're a bitch
honey don't blame me

I love going back and watching old videos of your songs. It's amazing how much they transform over time. Excellent work.

[cathal99h]

Whoa, this song is way different on the album.

Well, it's different yet the same.

(If you're interested, I prefer the album version :D)

[Cassiestarglimmer]

I love this. I'm not sure how it's sexist. It just seems honest to me. It's clever and funny and it sounds awesome=].

[carominimundo]

Nice!!! Love the harmony... Great song!!!

[TheHeartNeverLies442]

Is it wrong that I'm a girl but I love this song? Just the song to it is great and the lyrics have some type of raw but funny honesty that gives it character.

I'm learning so much about song writing just by listing to your originals.

*know I'm laughing when I write this* You absolutely suck. I'm the b*tch in this scenerio. Dangit. We women KNOW the guy friend is right, we just like the sensitive advice. BTW, that song by Ben...ROCKS. And I'm a woman. How can I say that??? Love Ben. Just not worth being a hater when his music is so good. LOL

[ScissorSlinger]

Meh. I prefer your diddy to theirs. Also, I still await your song about the Giant Cookie. :)

[ScissorSlinger]

Can't say as I am. But my musical intake is weird. I shall seek it out.

[MikeLombardoMusic]

I hope you're familiar with Song for the Dumped. That is the mother of all sexist songs.

[ScissorSlinger]

I find sexism to be an excellent source of comedy. And healthy venting. And...accuracy. ;)
