I was flickin' through the channels on the TV   On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain   Tryin' to piece together conversations   Tryin' to find out where to lay the blame      But when it comes right down to it there's no use tryin' to pretend   For when it gets right down to it there's no one here that's left to blame   Blame it on me, you can blame it on me   We're just sugar mice in the rain      I heard Sinatra callin' me down through the floorboards   Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme   To the jukebox cryin' in the corner   While the waitress is countin' out the time      For when it gets right down to it there's no use tryin' to pretend   For when it gets right down to it there's no one really left to blame   Blame it on me, oh you can blame it on me   We're just sugar mice in the rain      'Cause I know what I feel, know what I want, I know what I am   Daddy took a rain check   'Cause I know what I want, know what I feel, I know what I need   Daddy took a rain check, your Daddy took a rain check   Ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me   Blame it on me, blame it on me      Well the toughest thing that I ever did was talk to the kids on the phone   When I heard them asking questions I knew that you were all alone   Can't you understand that the government left me out of work?   I just couldn't stand the looks on their faces sayin', 'What a jerk!'      So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar   Where I sit with the broken angels   Clutchin' at straws and nursin' our scars   Blame it on me, blame it on me   Sugar mice in the rain      Your Daddy took a raincheck, your Daddy took a raincheck
