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
