Blackmail

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 . . .
