  • It wasn't her fault
    She makes sugar taste like salt
    'Cause she was so sweet
    Now you're shuffling your feet with your hands in your pockets
    It wasn't her fault
    She makes sugar taste like salt
    And when she walked in the room
    You could hear your eyes rolling round in their sockets
    Their sockets, their sockets, their sockets

    She doesn't know if it's a blessing or a curse
    Money in her hand but never any in her purse
    Looking at the crowd thinking "who's it gonna be?"
    "Who's the lucky boy that's gonna quench my thirst?"
    It wasn't her fault that she didn't have a say
    Spending every second wishing they would go away
    Tying up my shoes is becoming a problem
    But that's the way it is and that's the way it's gonna stay

    It wasn't her fault
    She makes sugar taste like salt
    'Cause she was so sweet
    Now you're shuffling your feet with your hands in your pockets
    It wasn't her fault
    She makes sugar taste like salt
    And when she walked in the room
    You could hear your eyes rolling round in their sockets
    Their sockets, their sockets, their sockets

    You can point the finger but she's not the one to blame
    For chemical reactions that are starting in your brain
    Looking at the crowd thinking "who's it gonna be?"
    "Who's the lucky boy that's gonna ease my pain?"
    It wasn't her fault that she didn't have a say
    Spending every second wishing they would go away
    Tying up my shoes is becoming a problem
    But that's the way it is and that's the way it's gonna stay

    It wasn't her fault
    She makes sugar taste like salt
    'Cause she was so sweet
    Now you're shuffling your feet with your hands in your pockets
    It wasn't her fault
    She makes sugar taste like salt
    And when she walked in the room
    You could hear your eyes rolling round in their sockets
    Their sockets, their sockets, their sockets

    It wasn't her fault
    It wasn't her fault
    It wasn't her fault
    It wasn't her fault
    It wasn't her fault
    It wasn't her fault
    It wasn't her fault
    That you could hear your eyes rolling round in their sockets Writer/s: Isaac Llewellyn Holman, Lawrence William Vincent
