Lyric Blackmail

(Robert Palmer)

Well you told me that you weren t infectious
So I brought no precautions with me
And you said your old man was in Texas
And anyway he d forgotten his key

So I put my cassette in your bathroom
And threw all my clothes on your floor
Next thing, door burts open
And there I am caught in the raw

Blackmail
You re blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I don t think it s funny
The way you ve been badgering me

So I m hiding out in the basement
Wondering how on earth I m gonna survive
Well your old man hollers
I ve got ten thousand dollars for you
Coz I know you can provide
Leaving me with grounds for my divorce
Pulls out his chequebook and starts to endorse
Two Benjamin Franklins
And before I can thank you mama
????

Blackmail
You re blackmailing me
Rendering you a service
Makes me feel real nervous
Trying to get me into your sceams

Blackmail
You re blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I don t think it s funny
Way you done the dirty on me
Blackmail
You re blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I don t think it s funny
The way you ve been badgering me

Blackmail
You re blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I don t think it s funny
Way you,ve done the dirty on me
