Sister Mercy (feat. Ross Wilson) - Live At The Palais

Oh, you know what we're gonna do
Gonna bring in a friend who helped me write this song
Mr Ross Wilson's gonna help me here

Oh yeah, come on now, keep it going
One two three four

Listen now

You know baby, you been hurting me
See it in my eyes
And I know that if you asked me
Be the one to testify (testify)

'Cause a woman's got the power
Yeah, to take control of me (yes she has)
She can wrap me 'round her finger
And make a damn fool out of me

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

Sister mercy, keep on comin' down on me
Sister mercy, ain't it time that you set me free
Show me mercy, get up off o' my knees
Sister mercy, have mercy, oh have mercy on me

Listen now
I wanna tell you honey
I ain't the kind to love then lie
Oh I don't want to argue now
Don't want no alibi

You've got me spinning like I'm under a spell
I 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, now whatcha tryna do
Sister mercy, give it up, you've got to turn me loose
Show me mercy, (because) I've got nothing left to lose
Sister mercy, have mercy, oh have mercy on me

I wanna look beyond her masquerade
I'm gonna find a way to make her stay
I can tell that girl ain't quite so hard
Sister mercy, got to find herself a brand new start

(Sister mercy) oh, baby
(Sister mercy) you been lyin' to me, listen now
(Sister mercy) oh, baby
(Sister mercy) you been cryin' to me, want me to give it up

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

Sister mercy (mercy) whatcha tryna do
Sister mercy (mercy), listen, give it up, come on, turn me loose
Show me mercy (mercy), I've got nothing left to lose
Sister mercy, have mercy, oh have mercy, come on

(Mercy), yeah, come on, come on, come on, give it up, give it up
(Mercy) oh, give it up, give it up, give it up...
(Mercy), givin' it up, come on
Mercy, mercy

(Mercy)
