Got a built-in forgetter I see her face in the morning sun And she could have all of me if I let her Rip me apart it’d be fun fun fun You know that I’m getting better I quit messing around round round She sings me songs if I let her I keep hearing the sound sound sound of love
When it was sour tasting You took a little sugar lump sugar lump Cos you knew the time was wasting And you got to get a bump get a bump Got a built-in forgetter Good and bad keep switching around And I can never reset It’s just the way that it is for me now
But oh, sister mercy you take me higher You keep me smiling, you keep me moving on Out in the big world when I get lonely I just think about my baby when she cutting loose Tell me all the things that she like to do to me
She said what am I to you I said you’re nothing more than a crutch But we ain’t even hobbling I said I’ve given you too much Got a built-in forgetter I see her face in the morning sun And she could have all of me if I let her Rip me apart, rip me in two
But oh, sister mercy you take me higher You keep me smiling, you keep me moving on Out in the big world when I get lonely I just think about my baby when she cutting loose Tell me all the things that she like to do to me
I remember times when I didn’t want you Better without you baby tell you the truth All I got from you’s a sour taste on my tongue She just take a little sugar lump
Oh, sister mercy you take me higher You keep me smiling, you keep me moving on Out in the big world when I get lonely I just think about my baby I just think about my baby Oh, sister mercy you take me higher I just think about my baby when she cutting loose Tell me all the things that she like to do to me
