Well, we change from one extreme to another
Can you help me with my shame
I didn't mean to when I kicked and punched
From nowhere this demon came

 Forgive me for this mindless mood
Accept this honest plea
Don't use me for the devil's food
And throw away the key

 Give me a reason so I've got
Someone else to blame
Give me the reason so I've got
Something else to blame

 I only meant to wipe away the cries
With the softness of my hand
I didn't mean to break the tie
I'm after all a family man

 Give me a reason so I've got
Someone else to blame
Give me the reason so I've got
Something else to blame

 Give me the reason
Give me a reason

 I am the master of this house
Don't try to run away
I tried the same things at your age
And I was also made to pay

 Forgive me for this mindless mood
Accept this honest plea
Don't use me for the devil's food
And throw away the key

 Mister patience and Misses alike
Upon and throughout the land
A lot of attention with a heap of affection
Wouldn't go astray

 Give me a reason so I've got
Someone else to blame
Give me the reason so I've got
Something else to blame

 This is the reason
One of the reasons

 I am the reason so I've got
Only myself to blame
I am the reason so I've got
No-one else to blame
