Blackmail Lyrics by The Runaways

Neon Angels

1976

[Intro]
Wow!
[Verse 1]
You didn't care, you went and broke my heart
I'll get you back, you know it's gonna start
You gave me pain, that's what'cha done to me
When I get through, you'll be sorry you met me
[Chorus]
You'll wish you were never born
Blackmail, blackmail
I'll make you pay for the life that you tore
Blackmail
Black
Mail
Oh, oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
You put it to me and now we'll play my game
I'll wrap you up and you'll go insane
It took so long and I waited my turn
You pay your debt, I'm gonna make you burn, you know
[Chorus]
You'll wish you were never born
Blackmail, blackmail
I'll make you pay for the life that you tore
Blackmail
Black
Mail
Go, Lita!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I know about you and I'm gonna tell
The way I planned, you're gonna go through hell
If you don't do what I'm about to say
You won't live to see the light of day, you know
[Chorus]
You'll wish you were never born
Blackmail, blackmail
I'll make you pay for the life that you tore
Blackmail
Black
Mail
[Outro]
One more time, blackmail
Black
Mail
Oh
