Built-In Forgetter

Got a built-in forgetter

I see your face in the morning sun

And she could all of me if I let her

With me you'd probably be fun, fun, fun

Do you know that I'm getting better?

I quit messing around, round, round

She'd sing this song if I let her

I keep hearing the sound, sound, sound of love

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And when it was sour tasting

You took a little sugar lump, sugar lump

'Cause you knew the time was a wasting

And you've got to get above, get above

I've got a built-in forgetter

And good and bad keeps switching around

And I can never reset her

It's just the way that it is for me now

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 cut me loose

Tell all the things that she'd like to do to me

Yeah, yeah, yes

She said, what am I to ya?

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 your face in the morning sun

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 cut me loose

Tell all the things that she'd like to do to me

Yes

I remember times when I didn't want you

Better without you, baby, tell you the truth

All I've got from you's a sour taste on my tongue

She said, 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

Well I just think about my baby

Just think about my baby, God, yes, yes

Oh, sister mercy, you take me higher

I just think about my baby when she cut me loose

Tell all the things that she'd like to do to me

Yes

Tell me all the things now

Tell me all the things now

Tell me all the things now

Tell me all the things now
