[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
And 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
[Chorus]
You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
And blame, blame, blame
You 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
Or happens on you way
Stop laying blame
You know that's not my thing
[Chorus]
You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
And blame, blame, blame
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
It's not my thing, so let it go
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
And blame, blame, blame
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
It's not my thing, so let it go
[Outro]
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
You
You let go on me
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
And 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
[Chorus]
You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
And blame, blame, blame
You 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
Or happens on you way
Stop laying blame
You know that's not my thing
[Chorus]
You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
And blame, blame, blame
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
It's not my thing, so let it go
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
And blame, blame, blame
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
It's not my thing, so let it go
[Outro]
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
You
You let go on me
