Straight for the Knife

Put on my best dress, I wanted to impress

I put a little makeup on

Put a bow in my hair, wore pretty underwear

Hopin' you might take it off

Don't know your etiquette

But I'm strapped to my chair

And it ain't 'cause you're pretty

You were charming until you saw your chance to kill

Your chance to make history

You went straight for the knife

And I prepared to die, your blade, it shines

Looked me straight in the eye

You turned the gas on high

Held the flame alight

You wonder why I'm scared of fire

You wonder why you make girls cry

My mascara a mess, harsh words for your princess

Boy, you and your promises

And if your goal was to love, you scored an epic miss

Now you'll just have memories

You went straight for the knife

And I prepared to die, your blade, it shines

Looked me straight in the eye

You turned the gas on high

Held the flame alight

You wonder why I'm scared of fire

You wonder why you make girls cry

Boy, you draw me back in

I'm hungry for your bad loving

But will someone find me swingin' from the rafters

From hangin' on your every word?

You went straight for the knife

And I prepared to die, your blade, it shines

Looked me straight in the eye

You turned the gas on high

Held the flame alight

You wonder why I'm scared of fire

You wonder why you make girls cry

You wonder why you make girls cry
