Straight Thru The Heart

(album: Mean Streak - 1983)

They say: where there's smoke, there's fire
But you turn a spark into a blaze
I ain't calling you a liar no
Just speak the truth when you speak my name
(You hear me?)
I know how you talk about
Everyone when they're not around
In such a wicked way
Burn 'em all with the things you say
If they knew, they'd walk away

Straight through the heart
Straight through the heart
You should be ashamed
Straight through the heart
Words in the dark
From the things you say
Straight through the heart (yes)

Let's cut 'em down to sucker size
But you say I'm OK
That's what you're doing
Can't tell the truth from the lies
With that smile-mask on your face

Oh, you cause such hurt and pain
When you talk that way
So if you wanna still call me friend
Count me out of your bad bad talking talking

Straight through the heart
Straight through the heart
You should be ashamed
Straight through the heart
Words in the dark
From the things you say
Straight through the heart (yes)

Straight through the heart
Straight through the heart
You should be ashamed
Straight through the heart
Words in the dark
You better watch it, what you say
Straight through the heart
Straight through the heart
From the things you say
Straight through the heart (yes)
(Watch out now)
