[Verse 1]
Oh, you're out there tonight with another
And my pain is so dreadfully sharp
I picture you with her and shudder
It's like a dagger through the heart

Do you think that my feelings don't matter
Or your cheating or hurtful remarks
When you leave me all broken and shattered
It's like a dagger through the heart

[Chorus]
Oh, I know I'm a fool to keep staying
When you've made hurting me such an art
Tossed around like a used box of crayons
It's like a dagger through the heart

[Verse 2]
Oh, you cut me to pieces so often
Like a knife or a poisonous dart
I would be better off in my coffin
It's like a dagger through the heart

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Like a dagger through the heart, through the heart

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
