Jacknife
Big Joe Turner / Vick Lecar
She came across like black velvet in the dark
So smooth and so cool
I should have known
She was trouble from the start
Now I'm just somebody's fool
She had a way with words
Like none Ne ever heard
Slice me so deep and watch me bleed
Curse me and hurt me and rip me apart
They cut me like a jacknife
Grab me and stab me, and tear out my heart
Cuts me like a jacknife
She's just a silver-tongued devil in disguise
And angel's face is all you see
Falling so fast you don't have time to realize
She's got a blade up her sleeve
She can act so cruel, criticize and ridicule
I don't know how much more I can take
