[Verse 1]
When you laugh, it just makes me cry
When you cry, it just makes me smile
When you smile, well that makes me mad
When you're mad, it just makes me laugh
When you're high, it just makes me low
When you're low, it just picks me up
You feel up, well that gets me down
When you're down, it makes me feel high
[Chorus]
And you never gave me anything, but I ended up with less
Blame it on the bad actress
And I never asked for everything, but I ended up a mess
Blame it on the bad actress
[Verse 2]
If you leave, that means I'll stay
If you stay, I'll just have to go
When you go then I'll have to wait
If you wait I'll just have to leave
[Chorus]
And you never gave me anything, but I ended up with less
Blame it on the bad actress
And I never asked for everything, but I ended up a mess
Blame it on the bad actress
[Bridge}
If I was to say anything you'd say the opposite
Maybe try to suggest something and just get torn to bits
We could both think up the same thing and you'd say something else
We could not agree on one thing except for how it felt
[Chorus x2]
And you never gave me anything, but I ended up with less
Blame it on the bad actress
And I never asked for everything, but I ended up a mess
Blame it on the bad actress
