Blackmail Lyrics by Michael Johnson

Dialogue

0

Came here to see you yesterday
But the maid said you weren't home
So I came around today again
No, no, I didn't want to phone

It's rather a personal thing
You'll see what I mean
Your husband might be glad to know
Your past has not been clean

Blackmail, it's just a simple case of give and take
And it's blackmail, anyone can make a small mistake
And it's blackmail, it's just another case of you give and I take

Oh what a lovely house you have
It must have cost you quite a sum
With all your maids, with all your maids
And household help to get your cleaning done

All you need are some photographs to hang upon the wall
I have some here for you to see, I'm sure you'll buy them all

Blackmail, it's just a simple case of give and take
And it's blackmail, anyone can make a small mistake
And it's blackmail, it's just another case of you give and I take

Sorry for the trouble
I know you've things to do
Let's keep it short and sweet
I'm sure we'll meet again soon

Blackmail, it's just a simple case of give and take
And it's blackmail, anyone can make a small mistake
And it's blackmail, it's just another case of you give and I take

Blackmail, blackmail
