VENGEANCE
(Simon)
Carly Simon - 1979


"That's dang'rous drivin', 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
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 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
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 an 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"
