(This next song is from, uh, the “52nd Street” album. It’s “Stiletto”.)
|
|
She cuts you once, she cuts you twice, but still you believe
|
The wound is so fresh you can taste the blood
|
But you don't have strength to leave
|
You've been bought, you've been sold
|
You've been locked outside the door
|
But you stand there pleadin' with your insides bleedin',
|
'Cause you deep down want some more
|
Then she says she wants forgiveness, it's such a clever masquerade
|
Oh, she's so good with her stiletto, you don't even see the blade
|
You don't see the blade
|
|
She cuts you hard, and cuts you deep, oh, she's got so much skill
|
She's so fascinating that you're still there waiting
|
When she comes back for the kill
|
You've been slashed in the face, you've been left there to bleed
|
You want to run away but you know you're gonna stay
|
'Cause she gives you what you need
|
Then she says she needs affection, while she searches for the vein
|
Oh, she's so good with her stiletto, you don't really mind the pain
|
You don't mind the pain…Ugh!
|
|
Huh! Hah!
|
|
She cuts you out and cuts you down and carves up your life
|
But you won't do nothing as she keeps on cutting
|
'Cause you know you love the knife
|
U've been bought, U've been sold, U've been locked outside the door
|
But you stand there pleadin' with your insides bleedin'
|
'Cause you deep down want some more
|
Then she says she needs affection, while she searches for the vein
|
Oh, she's so good with her stiletto, you don't really mind the pain
|
You don't mind the pain
|
|
Huh! Hah!
|
|
(Thank you.)
