Текст песни Sister Mercy - Jimmy Barnes

You know baby
You been hurting me
You can see it in my eyes
But I know that if you asked me
I'd be the one to testify

'Cause a woman's got the power
To take control of me
Well she can wrap me 'round her finger
And make a damn fool out of me

I keep on pleading with my lover in vain
I've been hurtin' but I can't stand the pain
Keep on pushing and you'll drive me insane
And I keep on telling you again and again

Sister mercy, keep coming down on me
Sister mercy, ain't it time that you set me free
Show me mercy, let me up, get off of my knees
Sister mercy, have mercy
Oh have mercy on me

And I wanna tell you honey
Well I ain't the kind that would love then lie
And I don't want to argue
I don't want no alibi

You keep me spinning like I'm under a spell
Tried to hide it, girl you know me too well
I feel the pressure when you're squeezing me tight
And your teeth are still shining when you turn out the light

Sister mercy, whatcha trying to prove
Sister mercy, give it up you've got to turn me loose
Show me mercy, I've got nothing left to lose
Sister mercy, have mercy
Oh have mercy on me

I'd like to look beyond her masquerade
I'm sure I'd find a way to make her stay
'Cause I can tell that girl ain't quite so hard
Sister mercy's gonna have herself a brand new start

(Sister mercy) oh baby
(Sister mercy) you been lyin' to me, get your head
(Sister mercy) oh baby
(Sister mercy) you been cryin' to me, come on!

Oh Sister mercy (mercy), coming down on me
Sister mercy (mercy), ain't it time that you set me free
Show me mercy (mercy), let me up, get off of my knees
Sister mercy, have mercy
Oh have mercy on me

Hey (mercy), whatcha trying to prove
Sister mercy (mercy), give it up, you've got to turn me loose
Show me mercy (mercy), and I've got nothing left to lose
Sister mercy, have mercy, have mercy, yeah

Oh, Sister mercy (mercy), coming down on me
Sister mercy (mercy), ain't it time that you set me free
Show me mercy (mercy), let me get off of my knees
Sister mercy, have mercy
Oh have mercy on me

Oh (mercy)
Sister mercy (mercy)
Well show me mercy (mercy)
Let me get off of my knees
Sister mercy, have mercy...
