Vengeance Lyrics 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

    you throw your misdemeanors right up in my face
    the kind of man i am i got to put you right in your lace
    i should lock you up getyou 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 itch
    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 that’s vengeance she said
    that’s the law
