Blame it on the FAME

I met him as a child

I remember the mustache and his name

He played more of a part in my life than he could imagine

He never knew my name 

Or probably would remember my face

But he was a bigger part of my life through all ages


Mama turned on the old LP and all the troubles disappeared in the night

In that moment it was all right

I danced around like there were no worries or pain

I never knew who to blame 

Blame it on FAME


Few times i felt love and a tender touch

The radio station tuned in

I couldn’t help but grin

We danced lost in each others eyes

We shared each others heart

For a moment there was no pain

I never knew who to blame

I blame it on THE FAME


Each time I lose someone close 

I lose my hard exterior

For a moment there is no shame in shedding tears

Missing their face

Everytime I think of them 

That song plays in my head 

Everytime I hear your name and start to dance

I don’t know who to blame

I blame it on the FAME


Watching my kids grow

I have no more babies 

They grew and left my side 

But everytime I hear that song it warms my soul

Fills my heart

And oh I love this part

It brings me joy and such pain

I never knew who to blame

Oh yes I blame it in the FAME


I was so scared to give any man a chance 

To break my heart again 

But I’m so glad that I let him come over

Standing there helpless that song played I fell in love for the last time

We danced and I knew he was not playing games 

My life has never been the same 

I know who to blame

I blame it on the FAME


When feelings of blue cloud my day

I turned to the only medicine that makes me sane

I go to the jukebox

And hit play

All the worries fade away 

That’s the joy to which has a name 

The name it carries is FAME

I can’t resist you 

Even though your hazardous to my heart

Like poison to my veins

My body and soul you drain


Your kiss is toxic 

And leaves me helpless

But I come back time after time for more

Until I’m dead on the floor


I knkw your love is deadly for my heart

But I allow you to continue to tear it apart

Breaking me down 

Helpless I lay in your arms 

Heart breaking head spinning 

But I can’t help myself at all 

There's a void in my heart 

A space in my soul

There's a place I've never known 

No place to call my own 


I've had it all

And I've had nothing

No food and no shelter 

But that's not what noones shown

It's love I've never known


I've known one night stands

I've known drunk skin on skin

I've known dining and the wine

But never had love that was mine 


I want that in my life

I want to be more than his one night

I want a man to love me right

I want a love to call my own


I had men to call my phone 

Want my love and my kiss

But there is still something missing 


They come around and buy me things

Fall for me and buy me rings

I even said yes a time or two 

But what's missing for me is you

She Had to Go

There was nothing left for her here

When she's gone don't shed a tear

No crying 

No pain

Just rejoice that never again

Will she hurt

Don't hate her because she had to go

Just in your heart know 


It was not you

It was not what you didn't do

It's not what you didn't say

That caused her not to stay


The demons that haunt her

The pain In her heart

Was more than you could ever repair

This world was more than she could bare


The past ripped her open like a knife 

That's why she left this life


Rest easy now and know

Love is something she had never known

Something she never learned to show 


Life made her hard and strong 

And that's why she chose to screw things up and be alone

She couldn't ever love you 

Or anyone else

Because she never learned to love herself
