Song title: Sister Theresa


Sister Theresa

Sister Theresa, golden hair, you're locked away
Sister Theresa, dressed in black
With rosary beads strung around her neck
What you need's a man to love
Can you tell what I'm thinking of

Sister Theresa, feeling her way back home
Sister Theresa, up in the morning saying her prayers
Sister Theresa, revealing herself to the midnight air

You say you're married to Jesus Christ
And that he's in your bedroom every night
Why is he so hard, why's he treat you so cruel
Is he jealous, or just a fool
Sister Theresa, come with me awhile
I promise I'll make you smile

Mother Superior, come and see, Sister Frances, come and see
Mother Superior, come and see, Sister Frances, come and see
She is gone, she is gone

Sister Theresa, I've given you my heart
