Don´t blame your daughter That´s just sentimental And don´t blame your mom For all that you´ve done wrong
Your daddy´s not guilty You came out a little faulty And the factory closed So you can´t hold them liable
You come from an island You´re cutting diamonds With a rubbery knife
Your autograph´s worthless So don´t send me letters And don´t mail me cash ´Cause your money is no good What´s left in your mattress Is holes that lack of love left Some hair from a horse But none of it is yours, man
You come from an island You´re cutting diamonds With a rubbery knife
And the song you sing today Wasn´t always in your head The words you try to say Are the ones you should´ve said They´re glistening like diamonds Go out and find them But don´t blame your daughter
Read me your tombstone Tell me you´re sorry
Fax me your will You owe me something still Blood is like water The bath that you poured me Has drained and it´s gone Don´t blame it on your son
And the song you sing today Wasn´t always in your head The words you try to say Are the ones you should´ve said They´re glistening like diamonds Go out and find them, boy The world is full of diamonds Go out and find them But don´t blame your daughter
