Please Sister

The Cardigans

With a sampled heartbeat and a stolen soul

I sold my songs to have my fortune told

And it said

You should know that love will never die

But see how it kills you in the blink of an eye



I know love is a hot white light

It knocks you down and then leaves you dry

Oh how can it be sweet mama tell me why

Why all loves disciples have to wither and die



Please sister, help me come on do what you should

Please give me something I'm not doing so good

I'm gone, done wrong is there nothing you can say

Please sister help me I'm not feeling ok



Give me believe that my time will come

And a toll free helpline if I find someone

But she said

You gave away what you never really had

And now your purse is empty I can see why you're sad



Please sister, help me come on do what you should

Please give me something I'm not doing so good

I'm gone, done wrong is there nothing you can say

Please sister help me

Can you make me feel ok



So if it's true, that love will never die

Then why do the lovers work so hard

To stay alive



Please sister, help me

Please give me something oh

Please sister, you know I do what I can

Oh sweet mama, please descent me a man

Cause I'm gone, gone

Is there nothing you can get

Please sister help me I just need some love

To live

Just a little love to live
