Please Sister

[Verse 1]

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"

[Verse 2]

I know of love as 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?

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 3]

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"

[Chorus 1]

Oh, 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?

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus 2]

Oh please sister, you know I do what I can

Oh sweet mama, 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

[Outro]

Just a little love to live

And a little love to sing
