Got a built-in forgetter
I see her face in the morning sun
And she could have all of me if I let her
Rip me apart it'd be fun fun fun
You know that I'm getting better
I quit messing around round round
She sings me songs if I let her
I keep hearing the sound sound sound of love
When it was sour tasting
You took a little sugar lump sugar lump
'Cause you knew the time was wasting
And you got to get a bump get a bump
Got a built-in forgetter
Good and bad keep switching around
And I can never reset
It's just the way that it is for me now
But oh, sister mercy you take me higher
You keep me smiling, you keep me moving on
Out in the big world when I get lonely
I just think about my baby when she cutting loose
Tell me all the things that she like to do to me
She said what am I to you
I said you're nothing more than a crutch
But we ain't even hobbling
I said I've given you too much
Got a built-in forgetter
I see her face in the morning sun
And she could have all of me if I let her
Rip me apart, rip me in two
But oh, sister mercy you take me higher
You keep me smiling, you keep me moving on
Out in the big world when I get lonely
I just think about my baby when she cutting loose
Tell me all the things that she like to do to me
I remember times when I didn't want you
Better without you baby tell you the truth
All I got from you's a sour taste on my tongue
She just take a little sugar lump
Oh, sister mercy you take me higher
You keep me smiling, you keep me moving on
Out in the big world when I get lonely
I just think about my baby
I just think about my baby
Oh, sister mercy you take me higher
I just think about my baby when she cutting loose
Tell me all the things that she like to do to me
