Blackmail - Robert Palmer

Blackmail

(Robert Palmer/Lowell George)

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 I remember, door bursts in
And there I am caught in the raw

Blackmail
You’re blackmailing me
Sponging 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
Cos 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
Honey on account of the force

Blackmail
You’re blackmailing me
Rendering you a service
Makes me feel real nervous
Trying to get me into your schemes
Blackmail
You’re blackmailing me
Sponging all my money
I don’t think it’s funny
Way you done the dirty on me

Blackmail
You’re blackmailing me
Sponging all my money
I don’t think it’s funny
The way you’ve been badgering me
Blackmail
You’re blackmailing me
Sponging all my money
I don’t think it’s funny
The way you’ve done the dirty on me
