Straight For The Knife

Sia

Intro: Put on my best dress, I wanted to impress I put a little make-up on Put a bow in my hair, wore pretty underwear Hoping you might take it off Don't know your etiquette but I'm strapped to my chair And it ain't 'cos 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 If your goal was to love, you scored and 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 swinging from the rafters From hanging 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
