Parton, Dolly - Dagger Through The Heart Lyrics






Oh, you're out there tonight with another
And my pain is so dreadfully sharp.
I picture you with her and shudder,
It's like a dagger through the heart

Do you think that my feelings don't matter,
Or your cheatin' or hurtful remarks
When you leave me all broken and shattered
It's like a dagger through the heart

Oh, I know I'm a fool to keep stayin'
When you've made hurtin' me such an art,
Tossed around like a used box of crayons,
It's like a dagger through the heart

Oh, you cut me to pieces so often
Like a knife or a poisonous dart
I would be better off in my coffin,
It's like a dagger through the heart

Oh, I know I'm a fool to keep stayin'
When you've made hurtin' me such an art,
Tossed around like a used box of crayons,
It's like a dagger through the heart

Like a dagger through the heart, through the heart

Parton, Dolly Dagger Through The Heart Comments
  1. f.... ....

    They had to stop the video several times which is unlike Dolly because she would start crying uncontrollably and have to get herself back camera ready. One of my favorite play on words she’s ever used is in this song, “I picture you with her and shutter.” Only Dolly would relate a camera part to a human reaction. Genius!

    Why can't I find this song anywhere?

    R.... W....

    Think it could be on her The Grass is Blue album.

  13. T.... D....

    I wanted to hear the album in which this song came from on Spotify, but you can't listen to any of the Halos & Horns albums. It might be because I'm on regular and not on premium. But I wish you could hear this album on Spotify

    T.... D....

    Tobias Dubose - I have premium, they don't have the album on Spotify.

    T.... D....

    Dalton Ballenger That's messed up. I wonder why? They don't even have it on iTunes.

    T.... D....

    It probably has to do with the label it was released on and if it was released digitally. I have the original Cd

  14. B.... R....

    dang, she NAILS this tune in every possible way....should have been a number #1 hit.

  15. s.... ....

    I remember Ms Parton from her early days on the "Porter Wagner Show". When she sings "Dagger Through the Heart" I am returned to her wonderful talent as it was revealed in her early performances. Just love her forever.

  20. k.... d....

    i love this song n i love you dolly

  21. B.... ....

    I'm looking for the acoustic version of this song. Just the music.
    My father drew a picture with a dragger in a heart years before Dolly sung this song. For my mother.
    I want to have him sing this song before his passes. ( He sounds a lot like Willie Nelson when he sings.)

    I love this song. And infidelity in the marriage between my mother and my father the song is perfect. And I know they both regret the mistakes they both made. And it's funny that when they both talk they in their conversations with "I love you" still.
    Its just something I want to keep and pass down for the grand n great grandkids in the family. Even though marriage may not work out for you. You still can Love each other.

    Any help? Thanks.

    @Sarah Winters do you want to be my tea bag are you sweet?

    l.... c....

    @Sarah W he doesn't sound like a tea partier, he sounds like a conspiracy theorist. the tea party is simply a party that wants less government intervention and lower taxes.

  23. a.... b....

  27. d.... ....

    other way round, isn't it? so sad but so good?

  28. d.... ....

    Another reminder that a great singer is also a great actor. The expression in the eyes is stupendous! She could have done opera.

  29. A.... C....

    Dolly wanted a "nothing compares 2 you" style of video. She hand picked Sinead o'Connor to cover this song and when asked Sinead would only do this song if she participated in the tribute album.

  30. b.... b....

    this song hurts I feel every word .walk with the angels .love you Dolly

  31. O.... ....

    If she is sad, I'm sad too. She's the only person who can do that to me. Please don't cry, Dolly. Your beautiful eyes need to shine!!! Love you!!!

  32. J.... P....

  39. J.... L....

    She's so beautiful and I really love her work.

  40. P.... C....

    she must use the worlds greatest plastic surgeon...but good luck to her id sure do the same.....

  42. k.... ....

    Pity more don't know this song - only 9,000 views! This would work great as a rock song - like the White Stripes did Jolene. Hole should have done this in their prime!

  43. K.... ....

    the second best song, from my favourite album, after these old bones
    she looks really beautiful in this video!
