We’ve Got the Knife

You've got your pretty face

You've got disarming eyes

You've got such social grace

I've got my pretty spies

I found you lost, misplaced

I love that loving guise

I said I'd try my luck

And you said

"Well, you don't have to try."

I forgot that night

What you said that night

"I had the most exquisite time."

Well, you got that right

But that's not the whole story

I want it all

I court the loveliest of crimes

Say it, as if it were true

We’ve got the knife you left behind

Play it just like you do

I wanna hear you mean it

When you say I’m not next in line

I court the loveliest of crimes

Save it cuz we’ve got the knife

You’ve got your pretty face

You’ve got your stunning glow

You’ve got exquisite taste

I’ve got the marks to show

You said you’d shoot the stars

But bullets make you blush

Turns out, you liked to play

Play with knives and I hear

That it gives you a rush

Well we’ve got the knife

Yeah we’ve got the knife

I’ve got the knife you left behind

Well we’ve got the knife

Now I want the whole story

I want it all

I court the loveliest of crimes

Say it, as if it were true

We’ve got the knife you left behind

Play it just like you do

I wanna hear you mean it

When you say I’m not next in line

I court the loveliest of crimes

Save it cuz we’ve got the knife

I thought you looked familiar

I’d seen your face long before that night

Now I wait, for you were no stranger

No stranger to taking a life

I court the loveliest of crimes

Say it, as if it were true

We’ve got the knife you left behind

Play it just like you do

I wanna hear you mean it

When you say I’m not next in line

I court the loveliest of crimes

Save it cuz we’ve got the knife
