Stiletto lyrics

She cuts you once, she cuts you twice

But still you believe

The wound is so fresh you can taste the blood

But you don’t have strength to leave

You’ve been bought, you’ve been sold

You’ve been locked outside the door

But you stand there pleadin’

With your insides bleedin’

‘Cause deep down you want some more

When she says she wants forgiveness

It’s such a clever masquerade

She’s so good with her stiletto

You don’t even see the blade

You don’t see the blade

She cuts you hard, she cuts you deep

She’s got so much skill

She’s so fascinating that you’re still there waiting

When she comes back for the kill

You’ve been slashed in the face

You’ve been left there to bleed

You wanna run away

But you know you’re gonna stay

‘Cause she gives you what you need

Then she says she needs affection

While she searches for the vein

She’s so good with her stiletto

You don’t really mind the pain

You don’t mind the pain

[Interlude]

She cuts you out, she cuts you down

She carves up your life

But you won’t do nothing

As she keeps on cutting

‘Cause you know you love the knife

You’ve been bought, you’ve been sold

You’ve been locked outside the door

But you stand there pleadin’

With your insides bleedin’

‘Cause deep down you want some more

Then she says she wants affection

While she searches for the vein

She’s so good with her stiletto

You don’t really mind the pain

You don’t mind the pain
