  • Drivin' home this evening
    I coulda sworn we had it all worked out
    You had this boy believin'
    Way beyond the shadow of a doubt, yeah

    Well I heard it on the street
    I heard you mighta found somebody new, yeah
    Well who is he baby, who is he
    And tell me what he means to you, oh yeah

    I took it all for granted
    But how was I to know
    That you'd be letting go

    Now it cuts like a knife
    But it feels so right
    Yeah, it cuts like a knife
    Oh, but it feels so right

    There's times I've been mistaken
    There's times I thought I'd been misunderstood, ooo yeah
    So wait a minute darlin'
    Can't you see we did the best we could, ooo we could

    Wouldn't be the first time
    That things have gone astray
    Now you've thrown it all away

    Now it cuts like a knife
    Yeah but it feels so right
    Oh it cuts like a knife
    Yeah but it feels so right
    Oh it's cut like a knife
    But it feels so right, baby
    Oh it cuts like a knife, yeah

    I took it all for granted
    But how was I to know
    That you'd be letting go

    Now it cuts like a knife
    Yeah but it feels so right, mmm
    Now it cuts like a knife
    Yeah, but it feels so right

    Yeah
    Oh it cuts like a knife
    Oh oh
    But it feels so right, baby
    Oh yeah
    It cuts like a knife
    Now give it to me now
    Oh yeah, come on boys, awh
    Cuts like a knife, yeah yeah yeah
    Na, it cuts like a knife now
    It feels so right, yeah yeah
    It feels so right, baby
