FIONA APPLE
"Hot Knife"
feat. Maude Maggart

[Apple]
If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen
Showing a dancing bird of paradise
If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen
Showing a dancing bird of paradise

He excites me
Must be like the Genesis of Rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him
If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen
Showing a dancing bird of paradise

[Maggart]
I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife
I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
He's never gonna need another, never need another

[Apple & Maggart]
If I'm butter, if I'm butter
I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife
If I'm butter then he's a hot knife
I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
Showing a dancing bird of paradise
He's never gonna need another, never need another
If I'm butter, if I'm butter
I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife
If I'm butter then he's a hot knife
I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
Showing a dancing bird of paradise
He's never gonna need another, never need another

[Apple]
He excites me
Must be like the Genesis of Rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him

[Apple & Maggart]
If I'm butter, if I'm butter
I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife
If I'm butter then he's a hot knife
I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
Showing a dancing bird of paradise
He's never gonna need another, never need another
If I'm butter, if I'm butter
I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife
If I'm butter then he's a hot knife
I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
Showing a dancing bird of paradise
He's never gonna need another, never need another

[Maggart]
I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
He's never gonna need another, never need another

[Maggart & Apple]
I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife
And you can, and you can
I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter
And you can relax around me
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
And you can, and you can
He's never gonna need another, never need another
And you can relax around me

[Apple]
He excites me
Must be like the Genesis of Rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him

[Apple & Maggart]
If I'm butter, if I'm butter
I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife
If I'm butter then he's a hot knife
I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
Showing a dancing bird of paradise
He's never gonna need another, never need another

[Apple & Maggart]
Maybe he could teach me something
(If I'm butter, if I'm butter)
(I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife)
Maybe I could teach him too
(If I'm butter then he's a hot knife)
(I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter)
Even just to reach is a triumph
(He makes my heart a cinemascope screen)
(If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that)
Now I really got a hold on you
(Showing a dancing bird of paradise)
(He's never gonna need another, never need another)
Maybe he could teach me something
(If I'm butter, if I'm butter)
(I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife)
Maybe I could teach him too
(If I'm butter then he's a hot knife)
(I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter)
Even just to reach is a triumph
(He makes my heart a cinemascope screen)
(If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that)
Now I really got a hold on you
(Showing a dancing bird of paradise)
(He's never gonna need another, never need another)

[Apple & Maggart]
Maybe he could teach me something
(If I'm butter, if I'm butter)
(And you can, and you can)
(I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife)
Maybe I could teach him too
(If I'm butter then he's a hot knife)
(And you can relax around me)
(I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter)
Even just to reach is a triumph
(He makes my heart a cinemascope screen)
(And you can, and you can)
(If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that)
Now I really got a hold on you
(Showing a dancing bird of paradise)
(And you can relax around me)
(He's never gonna need another, never need another)
Maybe he could teach me something
(If I'm butter, if I'm butter)
(And you can, and you can)
(I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife)
Maybe I could teach him too
(If I'm butter then he's a hot knife)
(And you can relax around me)
(I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter)
Even just to reach is a triumph
(He makes my heart a cinemascope screen)
(And you can, and you can)
(If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that)
Now I really got a hold on you
(Showing a dancing bird of paradise)
(And you can relax around me)
(He's never gonna need another, never need another)
