Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you could see yourself now, baby
It's not my fault, you used to be so in control
You're going to roll right over this one
Just roll me over, let me go, you're laying blame
Take this as no, no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Blame, blame, blame
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
It's not my thing, so let it go
[Verse 2]
If you could see yourself now, baby
The tables have turned, the whole world hinges on your swings
Your secret life of indiscreet discretions
I'd turn the screw and leave the screen, don't point your finger
You know that's not my thing, you came to
[Chorus]
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Blame, blame, blame
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
It's not my thing, so let it go now
[Verse 3]
You've got a little worry, I know it all too well
I've got your number
But so does every kiss and tell who dares to cross your threshold
Happens on your way, stop layin' blame
You know that's not my thing
[Refrain]
Ooh
Ooh
You know that's not my thing, you came to
[Chorus]
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Blame, blame, blame
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
It's not my thing, so let it go, you
[Chorus]
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Blame, blame, blame
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
It's not my thing, so let it go
[Refrain]
You kiss on me, tug on me, rub on me, jump on me
You bang on me, beat on me, hit on me, let go on me
Ooh
You let go on me
[Outro]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
