Alan Merrill Lyrics
"Knife"

Words & Music Alan Merrill

You kicked me when I was down
I kicked you when I got up
What kind of love is this
Where everybody's ass
Gets whupped
Guess it's the nature of the beast
You were the dog who bit the hand
What kind of love is this
I'm reeling every time I try to stand

Does it matter to you
When you do the things you do
That the knife cuts both ways
Sometimes you win, sometimes you've got to lose
"Cos the knife cuts both ways, yes it does

I finally heard the starter's gun
In this race of infidels
So what kind of love is this
Where everything is shot to hell
So where do we go from here
Now that the truth is coming out
What kind of love is this?
Tell what it's all about

Does it matter to you
When you do the things you do
That the knife cuts both ways
Sometimes you win, sometimes you've got to lose
"Cos the knife cuts both ways

Ooooh did you save it for a rainy day?
(save it for a rainy day) Now that everybody's gone away
(everybody's gone away)
Now I'm sitting here all by myself
And you're sitting there all by yourself
If this is between you and me
Why do so many have to pay?

Does it matter to you
When you do the things you do
That the knife cuts both ways
Don't act so cool
Sometimes you could be fooled
'Cos the knife cuts both ways
The knife cuts both ways
(The knife cuts both ways)
Knife cuts both ways, blade don't play
Knife cuts both ways, it'll slice and dice you now
Knife cuts both ways, Ooh yeah it cuts both ways
Knife cuts both ways, don't forget it honey
We got flashing silver, and hot blood
Cold steel, and hot blood, it's a flood
Flashing flashing flashing silver, and hot blood
Knife cuts both ways, knife cuts both ways
