Robert Allen Palmer (January 19, 1949 – September 26, 2003), born in Batley, Yorkshire, England, was a British singer. He was known for his soulful voice and the eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, reggae, blues, and even yodeling. His eighties hits were promoted by particularly striking award winning videos, featuring an all-female, black-clad backing band. The memorable videos, directed by Terence Donovan, featured heavily on MTV and played a large part in his transatlantic success.

Blackmail Lyrics

Robert Palmer

(robert palmer)
Well you told me that you werent infectious
So I brought no precautions with me
And you said your old man was in texas
And anyway hed forgotten his key
So I put my cassette in your bathroom
And threw all my clothes on your floor
Next thing, door burts open
And there I am caught in the raw
Blackmail
Youre blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I dont think its funny
The way youve been badgering me
So Im hiding out in the basement
Wondering how on earth Im gonna survive
Well your old man hollers
Ive got ten thousand dollars for you
Coz I know you can provide
Leaving me with grounds for my divorce
Pulls out his chequebook and starts to endorse
Two benjamin franklins
And before I can thank you mama
? ? ? ?
Blackmail
Youre blackmailing me
Rendering you a service
Makes me feel real nervous
Trying to get me into your sceams
Blackmail
Youre blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I dont think its funny
Way you done the dirty on me
Blackmail
Youre blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I dont think its funny
The way youve been badgering me
Blackmail
Youre blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I dont think its funny
Way you,ve done the dirty on me
