Cuts Like A Knife - Bryan Adams

Drivin' home this evening
I coulda sworn we had it all worked out
You had this boy believin'
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt

The I heard it on the street
I heard you mighta found somebody new
Well who is he baby - who is he
And tell me what he means to you

I took it all for granted
But how was I to know
That you'd be letting go

Now it cuts like a knife
But it feels so right
It cuts like a knife
But it feels so right

There's times I've 'bin mistaken
There's tines I thought I'd 'bin misunderstood
So wait a minute darlin'
Can't you see we did the best we could

This would be the first time
Things have gone astray
Now you've thrown it all away

Now it cuts like a knife
But it feels so right
It cuts like a knife
But it feels so right

Vallence and Adams wrote songs for several Canadian rockers, including Loverboy and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, as well as Bonnie Tyler and Kiss. Adams landed a solo record contract with A&M Records in 1981, releasing an eponymous album by the end of year; it failed to make the charts. The following year, he released You Want It, You Got It, which managed to reach the U.S. charts.

Bryan Adams' commercial breakthrough came in 1983 with Cuts Like a Knife. "Straight from the Heart," a ballad taken from the record, reached the Top Ten before the album was released. The album also made it into the Top Ten, while the title track peaked at number 15; a third single, "This Time," reached number 24.

Late in 1984, Adams returned with the surging, mid-tempo "Run to You," which became his second Top Ten single; it also became his first British hit, peaking at number 11. Reckless, also released in late 1984, became a blockbuster success, ...
