Vengeance
Lyrics & Music by: Carly Simon
That's dangerous driving baby
The policeman said
I can smell the passion
Of another man on your breath
I could give you life
Get you back for what I saw
That's vengeance, he said
That's the law
That's vengeance
Oh that's vengeance
Yeah that's vengeance, he said
That's the law
You throw your misdemeanors
Right up in my face
The kind of man I am
I got to put you right in your place
I should lock you up
Get you back for what I saw
That's vengeance he said
That's the law
That's vengeance
Oh that's vengeance
Yeah that's vengeance, he said
That's the law
You've taken your half out of the middle
Time and time again
But now I'm damned if I'll give you and inch
Till I get even
She said: Just because you're stronger
And you hold it over me
I'll put the pedal to the floor
And prove to you that I'm free
Though you've stopped me once again
It's not the end of the war
It's vengeance, she said
That's the law
That's vengeance
Oh that's vengeance
Yeah that's vengeance, he said
That's the law
