The cut runs deep

Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Joe Lynn Turner, Jon Lord and Ian Paice

Got your finger on the trigger
Your cold eyes taking aim
You took a shot at my heart
Let the bullets fly
Tell me has one of them got my name?

What about the heartache?
What about the emptiness inside?
It doesn't just fade away
Turning the knife
How much can I bleed?
The cut runs deep
Auh uh the cut runs deep
Oh yeah the cut runs deep

I can't find no salvation
Can't find no healing touch no
Reaching out for mercy
A stranger in your eyes
I want you, want you too much

What about the heartache?
What about the emptiness inside?
It doesn't just fade away
Turning the knife
How much can i bleed?
The cut runs deep
Ooh yeah the cut runs deep
Yeah-yeah the cut runs deep

No oh the cut runs deep
Ooh the c-c-cut ah the cut runs deep...

The cut runs deep
'Cos ayh-ayh-ayh-ayh
The cut runs deep
I want you too much

Oh what about the heartache?
What about the emptiness inside?
The cut runs deep
Turning the knife
The cut runs deep

Oh no what about the heartache?
What about the emptiness inside?
Oh it doesn't fade away
The cut runs deep
Turning the knife
The cut runs deep
Yeah-yeah...
