You've got your pretty face
You've got disarming eyes
You've got such social grace
I've got my pretty spies

I found you lost, misplaced
I loved that lovely guise
I said I'd try my luck and you said
Well, you don't, you don't have to try

I forgot that night
What you said that night
I had the most exquisite time
Well, you got that right
But it's not the whole story
I want it all

I court the loveliest of crimes
Say it as if it were true
We've got the knife you left behind
Play it just like you do

I wanna hear you mean it
When you say I'm not next in line
I court the loveliest of crimes
Save it 'cause we've got the knife

You've got your pretty face
You've got your stunning glow
You've got exquisite taste
I've got the marks to show

You said you'd shoot the stars
But bullets make you blush
Turns out, you liked to play
Play with knives and I hear
That it gives you a rush

Well, we've got the knife
Yeah, we've got the knife
I've got the knife you left behind
Well, we've got the knife
Now I want the whole story
I want it all

I court the loveliest of crimes
Say it as if it were true
We've got the knife you left behind
Play it just like you do

I wanna hear you mean it
When you say I'm not next in line
I court the loveliest of crimes
Save it 'cause we've got the knife

I thought you looked familiar
I'd seen your face long before that night
Now I wait, for you were no stranger
No stranger to, to taking a life

I court the loveliest of crimes
Say it as if it were true
We've got the knife you left behind
Play it just like you do

I wanna hear you mean it
When you say I'm not next in line
I court the loveliest of crimes
Save it 'cause we've got the knife
We've got the knife, we've got the knife
