lyrics

You took me in and hung me out,
A ragged man I brought you down
The only heart I had to give,
Was growing old and wearing thin
Yeah
My fraying hands lay at my side,
Only wanting yours in mine
And as the rain ran down my face,
I watched another take my place

And nothing hurts the soul worse than a dagger in the back
Nobody but a whore could do me anything like that

Bloody, battered, bruised, and beat,
I cried for shelter from the street
A fog of darkness filmed my eyes,
And numbed the pain I felt inside
That timid cricket in your mind,
Was a conscience none too kind
But it won’t matter what you say,
You’re meager words came far too late

And nothing hurts the soul worse than a dagger in the back
Nobody but a whore could do me anything like that

And nothing hurts the soul worse than a dagger in the back
Nobody but a whore could do me anything like that

And nothing hurts the soul worse than a dagger in the back
Nobody but a whore could do me anything like that
