Robert Palmer — Blackmail lyrics

Lyrics

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
