I picked her up in a local bar
We kissed and hugged in the backseat of my car
A despicable thing, drinkin' all the pain
Didn't want to hurt my girl, she loves and trust's a man
If I'm lying someone cut off my hand
If I'm lying strike me down as a man
I hardly touched, touched that evil girl
To lose my bride to be would surely end my world
It's blackmail, that's all, that's all it is
It's blackmail, that's all, that's all it is
She told me then that I'm to blame
Her unborn child wouldn't have my last name
She asked for money to send her away
Gonna tell my bride to be if I refuse to pay
If I'm lying I 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, put my heart in the brig
It's blackmail, that's what I'm going through
It's blackmail for something I didn't do
Oh baby
Oh baby, baby yeah
I woke up in the middle of the night
Couldn't stand living in the shadows of the light
I knew it would be hard to make her understand
This girl didn't mean a thing, but I'm human, I'm a man
If I'm lying I 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 struck me down, now my heart's in the brig
It's blackmail, that's all, that's all it is
It's blackmail, that's all, that's all it is
Oh, blackmail, that's what I'm going through
It's blackmail for something I didn't do
Oh, blackmail
