The Knife (Slower, Lower)

from "Friends with Benefits" Selection by David Simard

/

lyrics

The coffee I drink is strong
The books that I read are well recommended
I thought that I'd write a new song
The reasons for which were not comprehended
So put the knife back on the shelf
I'm hard enough on myself
And I don't need you
Trying to kill me too
Change my socks most every dawn
And I keep my trousers impeccably suspended
And I'm alright with being wrong
But how do you punish one so well intended
So stick your blade in someone else
I'm hard enough on myself
And I don't need you
Trying to kill me too

Leave my body out of this
You know I want to go
Curse me and then take off your dress
I know just how you throw down
Take it slow, down ...

I was born a harmony singer
Definitely not a band leader
I was born just to die
With a disposition a bit too shy
I was born into the world
With a mild affliction for French girls
I don't know why I treat me so
I'll love her till she lays me low
And I was born to make you sound good
I was born to make your sound understood
