I keep my nose clean I keep my speech plain. I keep my promises she twists the knife again. I shut my memory I close my eyes and then. She takes another bite she twists the knife again. She never leaves me my dignity. Makes a dunce of me in mixed company. No bygone can be a bygone. She throws the spanner in she puts the screws on. In the middle of a kiss she twists the knife again. When I get up off my knees she twists the knife again. When I think I'm off the hook she gets me. She twists the knife again she twists the knife again. I make my moves well I let her tell me when. I walk a fine line she twists the knife again. Just when the scar heals just when the grip unbends. Just when her mind reels she twists the knife again. She can give it out she can't take it. She smells something bad she has to rake it. I bring home my packet my white-collar money. I'm in a fist fight she thinks she's Gene Tunney. In the middle of a kiss she twists the knife again. When I get up off my knees she twists the knife again. When I think I'm off the hook she gets me. She twists the knife again she twists the knife again. She never leaves me my dignity. Makes a dunce of me in mixed company. No bygone can be a bygone. She throws the spanner in she puts the screws on. In the middle of a kiss she twists the knife again. When I get up off my knees she twists the knife again. When I think I'm off the hook she gets me. She twists the knife again she twists the knife again. She twists the knife again
