Who you gonna blame for your love, baby
when it jumps up to bite your heels?
The preacher's son could've been the one
but you'd never know how it feels

What you want and what you need
are as different as the apple from the seed
Who you gonna blame for your love baby,
when it comes down to you and me?

Your daddy was gone from your momma
He showed her that he didn't care
The bottle and he made a pretty good team
The night of the county fair

You seen him kissin' Miss Johnson
By the lights of the midway bright
Where everyone saw, and by gossip's law
the news spread through the night

Who you gonna blame for your love, baby
when it jumps up to bite your heels?
The preacher's son could've been the one
but you'd never know how it feels

What you want and what you need
are as different as the apple from the seed
Who you gonna blame for your love baby,
when it comes down to you and me?

In the early turn of the Summer
two or three years ago
You hopped on the back of Johhny's bike
and went as far as you could go

Hanging on his leather jacket
Hoping on his tight blue jeans
He left you with nothing but a baby,
Some miles, and some broken dreams

Who you gonna blame for your love, baby
when it jumps up to bite your heels?
The preacher's son could've been the one
but you'd never know how it feels

What you want and what you need
are as different as the apple from the seed
Who you gonna blame for your love baby,
when it comes down to you and me?

But today is so different
You've now seen the light
You've got a lord and savior
You know what's wrong and right

You learned from the Garden of Eden
You prayed at Gethsemane
And you're sure as hell you'll never, ever
Ever need a man like me

Who you gonna blame for your love, baby
when it jumps up to bite your heels?
The preacher's son could've been the one
but you'd never know how it feels

What you want and what you need
are as different as the apple from the seed
When daddy, Johnny, and Jesus leave
you might now just get stuck with me

Who you gonna blame for your love baby,
Are you blind?  Can't you see?
Ain't nobody to blame for your love baby,
when it comes down to you and me
Ain't nobody to blame for your love baby,
when it comes down to you and me
