Don´t blame your daughter, that´s just sentimental
And don´t blame your mom for all that you´ve done wrong
Your dad is not guilty, you came out a little faulty
And the factory closed, so you can´t hold them liable
You come from an island, you´re cutting diamonds with a rubbery knife

Your autograph´s worthless, so don´t send me letters
And don´t mail me cash ´cause your money is no good
What´s left in your mattress is holes and lack of love left
Some hair from a horse and none of it is yours, man
You come from an island, you´re cutting diamonds with a rubbery knife

And the song you sing today wasn´t always in your head
The words you´re tryin´ to say are the ones you shouldn´t have said
They´re glistenin´ like diamonds, go out and find ´em
But don´t blame your daughter

Read me your tombstone, tell me you´re sorry
Fax me your will, you owe me something still
Blood is like water, the bath that you poured me
Has drained and it´s gone, don´t blame it on your son

And the song you sing today wasn´t always in your head
The words you´re tryin´ to say are the ones you should´ve said
They´re glistening like diamonds, go out and find ´em, boy
The world is full of diamonds, go out and find ´em
But don´t blame your daughter
