"Dagger Through the Heart" Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)

Oh, you're out there tonight with another
And my pain is so dreadfully sharp
I picture you with her and shudder
It's like a dagger through the heart.

Do you think that my feelings don't matter
Or your cheatin' or hurtful remarks
When you leave me all broken and shattered
It's like a dagger through the heart.

Oh, I know I'm a fool to keep stayin'
When you've made hurtin' me such an art
Tossed around like a used box of crayons
It's like a dagger through the heart.

Oh, you cut me to pieces so often
Like a knife or a poisonous dart
I would be better off in my coffin
It's like a dagger through the heart.

Oh, I know I'm a fool to keep stayin'
When you've made hurtin' me such an art
Tossed around like a used box of crayons
It's like a dagger through the heart.

Like a dagger through the heart, through the heart...
