Knife - 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
