I pick my nose when we’re on the bus
Spill water in the drawer when we’re washing up
Get into bed before you’ve made it
Forget what you’ve said as soon as you’ve sayed it.
I turn on the tap when you’re in the shower
Play loud music by the hour
Drop the tea-towel and go on using it
Recycle the paper while you’re perusing it.
Your tolerance is an inspiration
Your patience should inspire the nation
Forbearance is your middle name
But it’s wearing thin, and I’m to blame.
I’m to blame, I’m there to blame
I’m here to blame, just call my name.
I don’t wear warm clothes when it’s cold outside
Or shut the door when I come inside
Put hot plates on a heat-proof coaster
Or turn off the power when I clean the toaster
I clip my nails when I’m sitting inside
Leave the fridge door open wide
Fill the jug and the pots too high
Use too much oil when I do a fry.
I make our grandson over-excited
Leave the gear in the lounge room lighted
Make too much foam when I'm washing the dishes
Keep doing things against your wishes
Your tolerance is an inspiration
Your patience should inspire the nation
Forbearance is your middle name
But it’s wearing thin, and I’m to blame.
I’m to blame, I’m there to blame
I’m here to blame, just call my name.
I’m here to blame, just call my name.
Because you're mine I walk the line.
