Introduction
Hey there! So, let me tell you about one of my all-time favorite country songs: “Blame It On Your Heart” by Patty Loveless. It’s one of those tracks that instantly pulls you in and makes you feel like you’re sitting on a porch swing, sharing stories with a good friend.
Released in 1993, this song is a real gem from Patty’s album, *Only What I Feel*. It’s got that classic country vibe, with a perfect blend of twang and sass. The lyrics are all about a woman calling out her unfaithful lover, and trust me, it’s delivered with just the right amount of attitude and heartbreak. You can almost picture Patty pointing a finger, but with a knowing smile, as she sings about all the blame falling squarely on his heart.
What makes this song so special is how relatable it is. We’ve all been there, right? Betrayed by someone we trusted, trying to make sense of it all. Patty’s voice captures that mix of anger and resilience beautifully, turning what could be a sad story into an empowering anthem. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to belt out the chorus at the top of your lungs, especially if you’re in the car with the windows down!
“Blame It On Your Heart” was a big hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. It’s a testament to Patty Loveless’s talent and the universal appeal of the song’s message. Plus, it’s a perfect reminder that sometimes, the best way to deal with a broken heart is to sing it out and maybe, just maybe, dance it out too.
And here’s a fun tidbit: the song was co-written by Harlan Howard and Kostas, both legends in the country music scene, which might explain why it hits all the right notes. So next time you’re in the mood for some heartfelt country tunes, give this one a listen. Who knows? It might just become your new favorite breakup song!

Lyrics
You’ve got a thing or two to learn about me baby
‘Cause I ain’t taking it no more and I don’t mean maybe
You don’t know right from wrong
Well the love we had is gone
So blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating,
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart
Well all I wanted was to be your one and only
And all I ever got from you was being lonely
Now that dream is laid to rest
‘Cause you have failed the test
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating,
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart
Are you headed for a heartache, oh yeah
Gonna get a bad break, oh yeah
You made a bad mistake, oh yeah
Well, you’re never gonna find another love like mine
Someone’s gonna do you like you done me honey
And when she does you like she’ll do you, it ain’t funny
You need some sympathy
But don’t be calling me
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart
Are you headed for a heartache, oh yeah
Gonna get a bad break, oh yeah
You made a bad mistake, oh yeah
Well, you’re never gonna find another love like mine
Someone’s gonna do you like you done me honey
And when she does you like she’ll do you, it ain’t funny
You need some sympathy
But don’t be calling me
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart
Hey blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating, two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving heart
