Built-In Forgetter - The Temperance Movement

I’ve got a built-in forgetter

I see her face in the morning sun

And she could have hold of me if I let her

With me you’ve got to be fun, fun, fun

Do you know that I’m getting better?

I quit messing a round, 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 love sugar love

Cause you knew that time was a-wasting

And you’ve got to get above, get above

I’ve got a built-in forgetter

A good man 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 me all the things that she’d like to do to me

Yeah yeah yeah!

She said «what am I to ya?»

I said you’re nothing more than a crutch

But we ain’t even hobbelin'

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’d let her

With me apart, with unto the

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 me 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

And she said «take a little sugar love»

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 yeah yes

Oh sister mercy, you take me higher

I just think about my baby when she cut it loose,

Tell me all the things that she’d like to do to me, yes

Te-te-te-te-te

Tell me all the things now…
