Twist Of The Knife

(album: Walk That Walk, Talk That Talk - 1991)

It's a shame when you got me where you want me
But you want me somewhere else
And it's a shame the way you take my loving
Baby, on and off the shelf

It's a shame, shame, shame
The way you run my life
But you always insist
On another little twist of the knife

Tell me how many times can I believe
You've been out with your best friend
When you don't even care if the whole town sees you
Out with another man

It's a shame, shame, shame
The way you run my life
But you always insist
On another little twist of the knife

Your lips, I can't resist
Your eyes, they hypnotize
With an endless supply of bullets to bite
So every day I can take another little twist of the knife

Your lips, I can't resist
Your eyes, they hypnotize
With an endless supply of bullets to bite
So every day I can take another little twist of the knife

Well, a man takes an ounce of dignity
And a pound of foolish pride
And he gives it up for a woman like you
To keep her satisfied

It's a shame, shame, shame
The way you run my life
But you always insist
On another little twist of the knife

Baby, it's a shame, shame, shame
The way you run my life
But you always insist
On another little twist of the knife

It's a shame
It's a shame, shame, shame
It's a shame
It's a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
Oh, baby, don't do me like that
