der er en spoken words intro, som ikke var med i den sang jeg linkede til (ændrer ikke ved forolkningen af teksten, men gør den måske klarere):
So
I was sitting there in the bar and this guy comes up to me and he said
"My life stinks" and I saw his gold credit card and I saw the way he was
looking at people across the room and I looked at his face and you
know, what a good looking face, and I just said, "Dude, your perspective
on life sucks".
(musik starter)
He's got looks that books take pages to tell
He's got a face to make you fall on your knees
He's got money in the bank to thank and I guess
You could think he's livin' at ease
Like lovers on the open shore -- What's the matter?
When you're sitting there with so much more --What's the matter?
While you're wondering what the hell to be
Are you wishing you were ugly like me?
Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Life could be simple but you never fail
To complicate it every single time
You could have children and a wife, a perfect little life
But you blow it on a bottle of wine
Like a baby you're a stubborn child -- what's the matter
Always looking for an axe to grind -- what's the matter
While you're wondering what the hell to do
We were wishing we were lucky like you
Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys x 2
He's got looks that books take pages to tell
He's got a face to make you fall on your knees
He's got money in the bank to thank and I guess
You could think he's livin' at ease
Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys x 2

Det handler om en fyr, der ser godt ud og har penge, men som ikke er lykkelig og som "wonders what to be". Han kunne leve et stille og behageligt familieliv med kone og barn, men det gør han ikke. Hvorfor? Skyd skylden på de fyre og piger, der lægger an på ham hele tiden, og på hans forældre. Selvom hans far faktisk er død, og han selv drikker for meget. Så problemet er, at han lyver for sig selv, og nok ikke ville være lykkelig med at leve et stille og roligt familieliv.
