Stiletto Lyrics

She cuts you once, she cuts you twice
But still you believe
The wound is so fresh you can taste the blood
But you don't have strength to leave
You've been bought, you've been sold
You've been locked outside the door
But you stand there pleadin'
With your insides bleedin'
'Cause deep down you want some more
Then she says she wants forgiveness
It's such a clever masquerade
She's so good with her stiletto
You don't even see the blade

She cuts you hard, she cuts you deep
She's got so much skill
She's so fascinating that you're still there waiting
When she comes back for the kill
You've been slashed in the face
You've been left there to bleed
You want to run away
But you know you're gonna stay
'Cause she gives you what you need
Then she says she needs affection
While she searches for the vein
She's so good with her stiletto
You don't really mind the pain

She cuts you out, she cuts you down
She carves up your life
But you won't do nothing
As she keeps on cutting
'Cause you know you love the knife
You've been bought, you've been sold
You've been locked outside the door
But you stand there pleadin'
With your insides bleedin'
'Cause deep down you want some more
Then she says she needs affection
While she searches for the vein
She's so good with her stiletto
You don't really mind the pain

Cover art for Stiletto lyrics by Billy Joel

This is one of my favorite Billy Joel songs. Yeah, about a woman who gets what she wants with this guy, and he doesn't stop her. Maybe he wants to, but he doesn't.

About a woman who can take advantage of a man, and he doesn't care. There are more songs about this sort of thing by Billy...wonder why.

All of the Joel wives have taken advantage of him, but he doesn't care. He writes about himself being a tough guy in a lot of his songs' lyrics which makes me wonder if this is Billy's outlet? Is performing where he plays "make believe" with the audience Billy's personal "high"?

HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THIS SONG IS ABOUT. MOST OF YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW ABOUT BILLY.

My Interpretation
Cover art for Stiletto lyrics by Billy Joel

He wrote this song about his ex wife Elizabeth Weber. The key phrase is “You’ve been bought. You’ve been sold.” She was his manager for many years and was known for her ruthless tactics. He also wrote “She’s Always A Woman” about Elizabeth Weber. The key phrases “She can kill with a smile. She can wound with her eyes. And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies.”

Cover art for Stiletto lyrics by Billy Joel

This song is about a malignant narcissist. They love hurting people. They derive fulfillment from watching the effects of their vitriol on people, even family, bcuz narcs don't recognize family. You are no more sacred being the mother or father of a narc than the panhandler down the street. Narcissism is a form of sociopathy, and they can't help heir thought processes but narcs will never admit to narcissism. They enjoy their power too much. She cuts you once She cuts you twice And still you believe
