古巴／美國拉丁流行巨星［葛洛莉亞伊斯特芬］──流行抒情曲──［Cuts Both Ways／難以取捨］

It cuts both ways

Our love is like knife

That cuts both ways

Its driven deep into my heart each time

That I realize

How it cuts both ways

Cant be together

Cannot live apart

Were heading straight into a broken heart

But I cant stop

 

[Bridge:]

Cause I feel too much to let you go

Im hurting you and its hard I know

To stay and fight for what weve got

Knowing itll never be good enough

Cause you and I are dangerous

We want too much and life aint that way

Dont ask for more

Youd be a fool

Havent we already broken every rule

 

It cuts both ways, were in too deep for sorry alibis

Cant have regrets or even question why

We cant say goodbye

Because it cuts both ways

No more illusions of the love we make

No sacrifice would ever be too great

If you would just stay

 

[Bridge:]

Cause I feel too much to let you go

Im hurting you and its hard I know

To stay and fight for what weve got

Knowing itll never be good enough

Cause you and I are dangerous

We want too much and life aint that way

Dont ask for more

Dont be a fool

Havent we already broken every rule

 

Cuts both ways

Our love is like a knife that cuts both ways

Its drivin deep into my heart each time I see we livin the lie

And it cuts both ways

It cuts both ways, mmm

Cuts both ways

Cuts both ways

Songwriters: GLORIA ESTEFAN

１９８９年７月　古巴／美國拉丁流行巨星葛洛莉亞伊斯特芬（Gloria Estefan）推出與邁阿密之音（Miami Sound Machine）的最後一張專輯［Cuts Both Ways／難以取捨］

在封面以葛洛莉亞伊斯特芬個人名之──成為她名義首張個人大碟．

但在唱片內頁, 仍標明葛洛莉亞伊斯特芬&邁阿密之音（Gloria Estefan &Miami Sound Machine）

這張專輯之後, 邁阿密之音便成為伊斯特芬的支援樂團　轉入幕後

專輯登上美國榜＃６（３白金）　英國榜冠軍（３白金）

國際地區亦有良好銷售

 

前四首主打順利打入美國榜Top50, 英國榜Top25

１９９０年５月, 伊斯特芬推出專輯第五也是最後一首主打──大碟同名歌曲［Cuts Both Ways］

此曲由葛洛莉亞譜寫, 其夫 Emilio Estefan, Jr.Jorge CasasClay Ostwald製作成一首流行抒情曲

在淡雅的樂聲中, 伊斯特芬敘說對感情舉棋不定的心境

由於１９９０年３月發生車貨, 導致葛洛莉亞無法宣傳之後發行的兩首主打

［Cuts Both Ways］只登上美國單曲榜＃４４　但去拿到副榜──成人抒情榜冠軍（個人第二首／事業第六首）

英國＃４９　紐西蘭＃１０　瑞典＃１４　愛爾蘭＃２２　加拿大／澳大利亞＃３８　荷蘭＃５２
