You Can't Blame Louis — Level 42

One small town boy whose dreams were higher Thought up a plan To be a city man Out in the world Bright burned the fire Through every door He was so sure

Than he ran into a problem He heard the voice inside him say "Do you believe that what you have is what you need"

You can't blame Louis Oh, Louis

He found a girl His heart's desire She was the first She quenched the thirst His social whirl did not inspire Her live divine Soon lost its shine

Now he's counting every hour Wondering where she spent the night She doesn't slow, it seems he'll never know

You can't blame Louis Oh, Louis

You can't blame Louis Oh, Louis

Take a day and trace a thought to where it all began Wondering how you felt at every turn Even thought reality was not part of the plan By reaching out you lit the spark forever

Louis thought he'd find the answer In a world that has no soul He moved on, to learn onother song

You can't blame Louis Oh, Louis
