SISTAR Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh we back yeah, SISTAR
Stop making it so obvious that you’re a good-for-nothing
Just quietly turn back, you’d better go
Like this, you’re not in my heart

These days, all you say is sorry
Then why do you do things that make you sorry?
Oh I can’t know you, I can’t stop, now I don’t know

Oh even if you’re so sorry
You’re still with those other girls oh my god
Stop, bad boy oh, stop, bad boy, I’m getting tired

The more I see you, you are crazy
Even if you cry and cling on, it’s over
Oh no oh oh, oh no oh oh, oh no, oh
I didn’t know you’d play so cheap
I tried to let you go but you’re wrong for me
Oh no oh oh, oh no oh oh, oh no, oh

Sometimes, you coax me with expensive perfume
You shyly confessed to me too
Like that, you were in my heart

Oh but you use those skillful words
With other girls oh my god
Stop, bad boy oh, stop, bad boy, I’m getting tired

The more I see you, you are crazy
Even if you cry and cling on, it’s over
Oh no oh oh, oh no oh oh, oh no, oh
I didn’t know you’d play so cheap
I tried to let you go but you’re wrong for me
Oh no oh oh, oh no oh oh, oh no, oh

Turn back boy and go, we back girls let’s go
Turn back boy and go, we back girls Sistar
Do you know who I am? Stop with the idle talk
You’re wrong for me, it’s over – you just back and go

The more I see you, you are crazy
Even if you cry and cling on, it’s over
Oh no oh oh, oh no oh oh, oh no, oh
I didn’t know you’d play so cheap

I tried to let you go but you’re wrong for me
Oh no oh oh, oh no oh oh, oh no, oh

Overall Meaning

The song "No Mercy" by SISTAR is a powerful anthem for women who have had enough of their men's bad behavior. The lyrics speak of a man who continually apologizes for his actions, but never seems to change them. The woman, tired of his words, wants him to leave and stop playing with her emotions. She notes that he uses his charm and words with other girls, which makes her feel betrayed and hurt.

The song is an empowering message to women who often struggle to set boundaries in their relationships. The woman in the song is taking control by telling the man that she deserves better and that she is not going to put up with his behavior any longer. The song is also a commentary on the double standard that women often face in relationships, where men are allowed to act however they want, but women are expected to forgive and forget.

Overall, "No Mercy" is a bold and unapologetic song that challenges traditional gender roles and encourages women to stand up for themselves in relationships. It is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever been hurt by someone they love.
