Blackmail - Ryan Shaw

I picked her up

In a local bar

We kissed and hugged

In the backseat of my car

I split before things

Things got out a hand

Didn’t wanna hurt my girl

She loves and trusts her man

If I’m lying, someone cut off my hand

If I’m lying, struck me down as a man

I hardly touched

Touched that evil girl

To lose my bride to-be, which surely is my world

It’s blackmail

That’s all.

That’s all it is

It’s blackmail

That’s all.

That’s all it is, girl

She told me that I was to blame

Her unborn child would have my last name

She asked for money

To send her away

Afraid she’d tell my bride to-be, if I refuse to pay

If I’m lying, hope that I go blind

If I’m lying, I must be losing my mind

I never thought of that evil girl again

'til she tracked me down through by bartender friend

It’s blackmail

That’s what I’m going through

It’s blackmail

About something I didn’t do

I woke up in the middle of the night

Couldn’t stand living in the shadows of a lie

I knew it would be hard to make her understand

That just didn’t mean a thing, but I’m human — I’m a man

If I’m lying, hope that I go blind

If I’m lying, I must be losing my mind

I never thought of that evil girl again

'til she tracked me down through by bartender friend

It’s blackmail

That’s all.

That’s all it is

It’s blackmail

That’s all.

That’s all it is

Blackmail

What I’m going through

It’s blackmail

But something I didn’t do
