The Cardigans | Lyrics | Please Sister

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
That knocks you down and then leaves you dry
Oh how can it be, sweet mama, tell me why?
Why all love's 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 okay

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 okay?

So if it's true, that love will never die
Then why do the lovers work so hard to stay alive? Please

Please sister, help me
Please give me something
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
And a little love to save
