Early James – Steely Knives Lyrics

It took me such a long time to take one step forward
Oh Lordy, I don't know just what I'm movin' towards
What I'm movin' towards
Oh, Lord

Put your arms around me, woman, don't let go
I'm so sick of sittin' still, afraid that's all I know
All I know
Oh, Lord

Can't you see? Them eyes like steely knives
It cuts me to the bone
Can't you see? Them eyes like steely knives
Gets me 'bout every time
I tried to stay afloat
Have mercy, that's all she wrote

Now I'm out in the open
I'm not the one stalkin'
It's all over now, I'm a dead man
Just a dead man walkin'

Can't you see? Them eyes like steely knives
It cuts me to the bone
Can't you see? Them eyes like steely knives
It gets me 'bout every time
Tried to stay afloat
Have mercy, that's all she wrote, wrote, wrote

Lord, Lord, Lord
