I have to take a closer look
I have to read you like a book
you seem to know every trick
what it takes to make me tick

You like to turn me upside down
When you change things all around
you like to come and turn the screw
Without leaving any clues

With a flick of a switch
Or a blink of an eye
You won't see what's coming
Or have time to wonder why

Pushing every button
Till you cross your wires
You won’t feel a thing
When you're standing high and dry

Ruthless never toothless 
You always leave your mark
Ruthless never toothless 
You cut so deep with your remarks

Ruthless never toothless 
Your bite is big as your bark
Ruthless never toothless 
It's like swimming with the sharks 

Got to watch you like a hawk
On the hunt for prey
Eyes need to stay wide open 
Don't want to look away 

On the edge of a knife
Waiting for the gun
Finger on the trigger
Until the race is run

Ruthless never toothless 
You come and leave your mark
Ruthless never toothless 
You cut so deep with your remarks

Ruthless never toothless 
Your bite is big as your bark
Ruthless never toothless 
It's like swimming with the sharks 

I long to keep you so close
So I can be on my guard
You keep on my toes
When it's time to play your card

I try and stay one step ahead 
To stay on the right road
The map you plot inside your head
Tries to take me where I don't need to go
