The Cardigans - Don't Blame Your Daughter lyrics

don't blame your daughter, that's just sentimental

and don't blame your mum 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 rubber 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 and none of it is yours, man

you come from an island, you're cutting diamonds with a rubber 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 is 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, but don't blame your daughter
