A song about the mysteries of masculinity, and how those mysteries alienate men from friends, lovers, casual acquaintances, and even themselves.
Released in 1981, it became a hit for Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band a year later, peaking at #2 on the pop charts.
[Verse 1]
Till you've been beside a man
You don't know what he wants
You don't know if he cries at night
You don't know if he don't
When nothin' comes easy
Old nightmares are real
Until you've been beside a man
You don't know how he feels
[Verse 2]
Once inside a woman's heart
A man must keep his head
Heaven opens up the door
Where angels fear to tread
Some men go crazy
Some men go slow
Some men go just where they want
Some men never go
[Chorus]
Oh blame it on midnight
Ooh shame on the moon
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Everywhere it's all around
Comfort in a crowd
Strangers faces all about
Laughin' right out loud
Hey, watch where you're goin'
Step light on your toes
Until you've been beside a man
You don't know who he knows
[Chorus]
Oh blame it on midnight
Ooh shame on the moon
Oh blame it on midnight
Ooh shame on the moon
