Music & Lyrics Written By Howard Axtell

When your honey is no more an angel, and you settle for second best
The woman you were lovin’, gives herself to the others to taste
The moment you’re gone, she’s out the window
While you’re tryin’ to make a good life for two
You wonder if she ever got your letters,
That’s how cold and deep a knife cuts a fool. Cut’s a fool….

Did you feel like crying, did you nearly die inside
When she slept in your house with another man
Is she truly second best, just like all the rest
Standing in the rain, in the back of the line?
Standing in the rain, in the back of the line?
 Yeah… kick it up!

Beware the TV repairman, if he smiles as he takes off his shoes
Her final repayment for favors, may be too much for a good man to lose…
May be too much for a good man to lose

A wife she’ll be and a wife you see, and the sun comes up today
She wonders if, the memories gone
And then she hears him say…. That’s how cold and deep a knife cuts a fool
Cuts a fool…  Cuts a fool
