Words And Music: Lou Reed & John Cale



It Wasn't Me Who Shamed You, It's Not Fair To Say That

You Wanted To Work I Gave You A Chance At That

It Wasn't Me Who Hurt You, That's More Credit That I'm Worth

Don't Threaten Me With The Things You'll Do To You



It Wasn't Me Who Shamed You, It Wasn't Me Who Brought You Down

You Did It To Yourself Without Any Help From Me

It Wasn't Me Who Hurt You, I Showed You Possibilities

The Problems You Had Were There Before You Met Me



I Didn't Say This Had To Be

You Can't Blame These Things On Me

It Wasn't , It Wasn't Me, It Wasn't Me

I Know She's Dead, It Wasn't Me



It Wasn't Me Who Changed You, You Did It To Yourself

I'm Not An Excuse For The Hole You Dropped In

I'm Not Simple Minded But I'm Not Father To You At All

Death Exists But You Do Things To Yourself



I Never Said Give Up Control

I Never Said Stick A Needle In Your Arm And Die

It Wasn't , It Wasn't Me, It Wasn't Me

I Know She's Dead But It Wasn't Me



It Wasn't Me Who Shamed You, Who Covered You With Mud

You Did It To Yourself Without Any Help From Me

You Act As I Could've Told You Or Stopped You Like Some God

But People Never Listen And You Know That That's A Fact



I Never Said Slit Your Wrists And Die

I Never Said Throw Your Life Away

It Wasn't , It Wasn't Me, It Wasn't Me

You're Killing Yourself - You Can't Blame Me
