LYRICS

She lives in a big white house
The rooms are lemon and she's devoted to life
Of keeping this house just right, ooh, ooh
The weekends are perfectly nice ooh, ooh
And she doesn't talk when he comes home at night
Twenty five years she's just the same
She's a lonely woman, quiet in her ways
Then he comes home one night
She kills him with a knife
Now she's the one who's a living in paradise

(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Oh don't cry for me
(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
It's all alright for me

Now she sits in a big white chair
In a room that's not so different to the one back there
She turns her face to the light
But she is blinded by her life
You can hear her cry alone at night

(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Oh don't cry for me
(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
It's all alright for me

So have mercy on that woman you don't know the way it's been
You don't know the trouble her eyes have seen
Can you feel the kiss of life when you come home at night?
Well, you better not turn your back on a paradise
(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Oh don't cry for me
(sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
It's all alright for me

Sister of mercy (Sister of mercy)
Sister of mercy oh, oh
Sister of mercy (Sister of mercy)
Sister of mercy oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Oh don't cry for me
(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
It's all alright for me

(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Oh don't cry for me
(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
It's all alright for me

[malcolmallen]

No women should go through that saw my sister go through it she wouldn't tell me took her life i miss

[richarddutchholland]

Songs like this just prove the 80's was the greatest decade of all time

[GeraldWilson-pedn]

This song is for my baby sister who suffered 30 years at the hands of her abusive husband. She separated from him thank God but the damage unfortunately will remain the rest of her life. Love you little sister from your big brother!! ❤😢

[Dont_Gnaw_on_the_Kitty_]

Good music never sinks, I wore the vinyl out in the day.

[richarddutchholland]

Anyone here in 2025 still loving this?

[billycovingtonjr]

Such an elegant song that so how spousal abuse don't have to be depicted by violence to the woman, it can also be emotional and psychological. Great job by the Thompson twins.

[paulosmeek]

This was POP MUSIC back in the 80's! Depth, style and meaning. I hope for music's resurgence

[tamirmoav]
