Lyrics

What's a boy like you doing in a place like this? This ain't the Ritz You better keep you wits about you One wrong look is gonna get you ten left hooks Go on and swallow your foot Before they surround you And he said "I carry a sharp knife on my body In case a fist fight turns to something more Words get thrown like rice at a wedding If I'm on the floor, then I'm reaching for my sharp knife" Why is a girl like you walking home in the dark Right through Central Park Oh anything could happen You are far too pretty to be walking alone in this city Call you Joan of Arc dressed in black satin And she said "I carry a sharp knife on my body In case a cool night turns to something cold Men get bold when no one's looking If he blocks the door, then I'm reaching for my sharp knife I'm reaching for my sharp knife Oh fantasy never suited me I can only speak to reality It seems if you're a diamond in the dark You're going to need to carry something sharp So you carry a sharp knife on your body In case something right goes wrong You can't know you're sunk until you're sinking On the ocean floor is where you keep your shark knife That's where you keep your sharp knife
