Another one from the dusty archives that needs a little tinkering
Wicked with words /you cut me to the quick v2 © John Westwood/ Kip Marchetti 2006 I think.
you ‘ve got a wicked way with words
A turn of phrase that really hurts
You cut me to the quick
when you catch me in a slip
I cant compete with someone
so replete with barbs whose tongue is sharp
with just your tongue and lip
an instant quip,
You cut me to the quick
Bridge
a verbal joust is what I hate the most
An oral race that always puts you first past the post
It seems to be your favourite trick
to catch me in a slip.
A verbal barb cuts me to the quick
If I were dumb would that spoil your fun?
If nothing was said Id be better off in bed.
If I didnt have you what would I do,
You remember everything I∑say ,
its never allowed to slip away
You cut me to the quick
when you catch me in a slip
