Drivin' home this evening
I coulda sworn we had it all worked out
You had this boy believin'
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt, yeah

Well I heard it on the street
I heard you might of found somebody new yeah
Well who is he baby who is he
And tell me what he means to you oh yeah

I took it all for granted
But how was I to know
That you'd be letting go

Now it cuts like a knife
But it feels so right
Yeah! It cuts like a knife
Oh, but it feels so right

There's times I've been mistaken
There's times I thought I'd been misunderstood - ooh yeah
So wait a minute darlin'
Can't you see we did the best we could ooh we could

This wouldn't be the first time
Things have gone astray
Now you've thrown it all away

Now it cuts like a knife yeah
But It feels so right
Oh! It cuts like a knife
Yeah! But it feels so right

Oh! It cuts like a knife!
But if feels so right baby!
Oh! It cuts like a knife!
Yeeah! Hey!

I took it all for granted
But how was I to know
That you'd be letting go

Now it cuts like a knife yeah
But It feels so right
Oh. Now it cuts like a knife
Yeah But it feels so right Yeeah!

Ooh yeah yeah
