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
