Candi Staton - Blackmail Lyrics

Can't eat Afraid to pick up the telephone Can't sleep And I'm scared to stay at home

Blackmail That's all, that's all it is Blackmail The price of a stolen kiss

Drove me home, from a local bar We kissed and hugged in the backseat of this car Despicable things, got out of hand I didn't want to do no wrong, I'd love and trust my man

If I'm lying, oh, someone cut off my hand If I'm lying, Lord strike me dead I never ever thought of that evil boy again You see, he chased me down, through my [?] to the [?]

Blackmail That's all, that's all it is Blackmail The price of a stolen kiss

Told me I, was gonna have to pay For turning him on, and sending him away He asked me to go, I'm with him again He threatened to tell my man if I refused him

If I'm lying, oh, I hope to go blind If I'm lying, I must be losing my mind He told me I, was gonna be his girl But to lose the man I love would surely end my world

Blackmail That's all, that's all it is Blackmail The price of a stolen kiss

Can't think I'm afraid to pick up a letter Can't sleep I'm trying to hold myself together

Blackmail That's all, that's all it is Blackmail The price of a stolen kiss

Blackmail Why can't he understand? Blackmail I love, I love my man

Blackmail Why can't, why can't he see? Blackmail Just what he's doin' to me

Blackmail
