You gave me a chance at the Palais to dance to prove I'm worth your time,
You gave me a chance to prove I'm more than just an also ran
A knife for the girls who want to come home for just one night,
A knife for the girls who never return your calls
You gave me a chance at the Palais to dance to prove I'm worth your time,
You gave me a chance to prove I'm more than just an also ran
Something happened to change your mind, something happened I don't know why,
And now you reach for my hand and you cut me again
You've got a knife for the girls and a knife for the man
I don't mind seeing your face around, but we can never speak again
(no no no)
A knife for the men who've taken the heat off you this time,
A knife for the men who keep you awake at night
This could be the last time you could say for sure
You know I'm here if you need a girl
Something happened to change your mind, something happened I don't know why,
And now you reach for my hand and you cut me again
You've got a knife for the girls and a knife for the man
I don't mind seeing your face around, but we can never speak again
(no no no)
But in a back room in high heels when you said I was a superstar,
what did you mean, what did you mean?
High heels, high heels, high heels,
Well in a back room in high heels, what did you mean?
Now you reach for my hand and you cut me again,
You've got a knife for the girls and a knife for the man
I don't mind seeing your face around, but we can never speak again
I got my souvenir, I got my souvenir
Well, in a back room in high heels I got my souvenir
My baby doll, don't go to London,
Don't go to London, no no no
Don't go to London,
Don't go to London, no no no
Don't go to London,
Don't go to London, no no no
Don't go to London,
Don't go to London, no no no
