The Cardigans - Please Sister

When 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 of love as a hot white light
That knocks you down and then leaves you to dry
Oh, how can it be sweet momma 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 down wrong is there nothing you can say
Please sister help me I'm not feeling ok

Give me belief 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.

Oh Please sister help me come on do what you should
Please give me something I'm not doing so good
I'm gone down 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
Oh please sister help me
Please give me something
Oh please sister you know I do what I can
Oh sweet momma please just send me a man
'Cause I'm gone, gone is there nothing you can give
Please sister help me I just need some love to live

Just a little love to live

And a little love to sail in
