Lyrics
Jacknife
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She came across like black velvet in the dark
So smooth and so cool
I should have known
She was trouble from the start
Now I'm just somebody's fool
She had a way with words
Like none Ne ever heard
Slice me so deep and watch me bleed
Curse me and hurt me and rip me apart
They cut me like a jacknife
Grab me and stab me, and tear out my heart
Cuts me like a jacknife
She's just a silver-tongued devil in disguise
And angel's face is all you see
Falling so fast you don't have time to realize
She's got a blade up her sleeve
She can act so cruel, criticize and ridicule
I don't know how much more I can take
