(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
