Here we are again
And we're looking at each other as if
Each other were to blame
You think you're so smart
But I've seen you naked and I'll
Probably see you naked again
Milli Vanilli told you to Blame It On The Rain
But if you blame it on the rain tell me
What can be gained so
If all else fails you can blame it on me
[Chorus]
If all else fails you can blame it on me
If all else fails you can blame it on me
If all else fails blame it on me
If all else fails you can blame it on me
Then you smile again
But you're looking at me like there's
Something I'm supposed to say
Forgive me, Father
But I'm falling in love and that's all I
Have for confession today
Maybe if you'd ask me on any other
Given day
I wouldn't have time for you or
Anything that you say
But it's alright now, you can blame it on me
[Chorus]
Yes dear I love you
But sometimes I think that love's not
Enough for you
So you want to play mind games
Well that's fine, go ahead, la la la I
Can't hear you
Here you are
And you're a hundred thousand miles
Away
They say that absene makes the
Heart grow fungus
I wax poetic as you're waxing your
Legs
You say there's a traitor among us
[Chorus]
And we're looking at each other as if
Each other were to blame
You think you're so smart
But I've seen you naked and I'll
Probably see you naked again
Milli Vanilli told you to Blame It On The Rain
But if you blame it on the rain tell me
What can be gained so
If all else fails you can blame it on me
[Chorus]
If all else fails you can blame it on me
If all else fails you can blame it on me
If all else fails blame it on me
If all else fails you can blame it on me
Then you smile again
But you're looking at me like there's
Something I'm supposed to say
Forgive me, Father
But I'm falling in love and that's all I
Have for confession today
Maybe if you'd ask me on any other
Given day
I wouldn't have time for you or
Anything that you say
But it's alright now, you can blame it on me
[Chorus]
Yes dear I love you
But sometimes I think that love's not
Enough for you
So you want to play mind games
Well that's fine, go ahead, la la la I
Can't hear you
Here you are
And you're a hundred thousand miles
Away
They say that absene makes the
Heart grow fungus
I wax poetic as you're waxing your
Legs
You say there's a traitor among us
[Chorus]

(hence "Then you smile again, but you're looking at me
Like there's something I'm supposed to say", and the part about mind games)
This makes them kinda distant, further damaging the relationship (see awesome fungus line). With that in mind, the title lyric seems pretty sarcastic/ironic, but at some point, near the end I think, it begins to seem sincere, like the narrator's willing to take the blame for the sake of the relationship.
gosh, that last paragraph was full of Shatner pauses, or preferably, Goldblum pauses. Anyway, I love this song.
The world may be divided by boarders, full of different races, religions and governments, but I'm sure stupid is among all of them.
As if each other were to blame
You think you're so smart, but I've seen you naked
And I'll probably see you naked again
Milli Vanilli told you to blame it on on the rain,
But if you blame it on the rain, tell me what can be gained so
If all else fails, you can blame it on me.
Chorus
If all else fails, you can blame it on me.
If all else fails, you can blame it on me.
If all else fails, blame it on me.
And if all else fails, you can blame it on me.
Then you smile again, but you're looking at me
Like there's something I'm supposed to say
Forgive me Father, but I've fallen in love
And that's all I have for confession today
Maybe if you asked me on any other given day
I wouldn't have time for you or anything that you say,
But it's all right now, you can blame it on me.
Chorus
Yes, dear, I love you,
But sometimes I think that love's not enough for you
So you want to play mind games
Well that's fine, go ahead; la la la, I can't hear you
Well here you are and you're a hundred thousand miles
away
They say that absence makes the heart grow fungus
I wax poetic 'cause you're waxing your legs
And you say you think there's a traitor among us
If all else fails, you can blame it on me.
Chorus
Quick government lesson: Canada is a member of the Commonwealth, which means Queen Elizabeth II is queen of, among other things, Canada. That means she's also head of state. Ever hear of the Governor General? He's the Queen's representative and acting head of state. In practice? Yes, Canada is parliamentary with no input from the UK. But in name, theory, and organization, Canada is part of a monarchy.
P.S. I'm American. I didn't have to look up the above information, but I did find a link for you: gg.ca/gg/rr/…. In the future, please refrain from making sweeping generalizations. The only acceptable generalization is about the effectiveness of generalizations...not only do they undermine instead of support an argument, but the negative connotations tend to reflect more poorly on you than the people you're trying to generalize.
Now that that's done, this is a great song. As with several of their other songs, I'm not sure whether I want to laugh or cry when I hear it. So I do a little of both. I'm gonna echo one of the earlier statements...Steve Page for POTUS!
Do I really have to explain that I understand the natural-born clause? 'Cause I don't think I should have to.
I've been listening to BNL for about 9 years myself too. This is still one of my favorite songs as well :)
try to understand a light hearted, ironic joke. im quite sure she isnt a serious protester for Steven Page to become President
