Sisters of Mercy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If anybody had told me that anybody'd have a hold on me
I'd say they were out of their mind
But speakin' of crazy, I'm findin' lately
All I want, all I need, all the time is

More of your sweet love
Too much just ain't enough
I never needed a fix like this before
Too strong to resist
I don't know when to quit
Like a kid in a candy store
You keep me comin' back for more

I can't explain it, I'm more than infatuated
You got me good, I got it bad
There's no doubt about it, I can't live without it
What you got, I just gotta have
So gimme

More of your sweet love
Too much just ain't enough
I never needed a fix like this before
Too strong to resist
I don't know when to quit
Like a kid in a candy store
You keep me comin' back for more

Too strong to resist
I don't know when to quit
Like a kid in a candy store
You keep me comin' back for more
You keep me comin' back for more
You keep me comin' back for more
More and more and more
Comin' back for, more




Gimme, gimme, gimme some more
I'm comin' back for more

Overall Meaning

The Sisters of Mercy's song "More" is a passionate declaration of love and desire as the singer expresses their fixation with their lover. The lyrics suggest that the singer is addicted to their partner and can't get enough of their affection. The opening lines are a plea to their audience to believe in the intensity of their feelings. The following lines reinforce the singer's addiction and their inability to resist their partner's charms. The chorus of the song repeatedly asks for more of their lover's "sweet love," as it's never enough to satisfy the singer's desires.


The lyrics indicate that the singer is experiencing an overwhelming sensation of love and infatuation for their partner. They have become so enamored with their lover that they can't imagine life without them. This passionate and overpowering emotion is conveyed through the hyperbolic language and the persistent repetition of the song's central idea. The lyrics are simple, but they effectively express the strong, addictive nature of the singer's romantic feelings.

Some people get by
With a little understanding
Some people get by
With a whole lot more
I don't know
Why you gotta be so undemanding
One thing I know
I want more
I want more

(And I need all the love that I can't get to)
(And I need all the love I can get)
(And I need all the love that I can't get to)
D'you get scared to feel so much?
To let somebody touch you?
So hot, so cold, so far so out of control
Hard to come by, and harder to hold

Some people get by
With a little understanding
Some people get by
With a whole lot more
I don't know
Why you gotta be so undemanding
I want more

(And I need all the love I can get)
(And I need all the love that I can't get to)
(And I need all the love I can get)
(And I need all the love that I can't get to)

There are parts of me that don't get nervous
Not the parts that shake
You won't get what you deserve
You are what you take
Learning to cry for fun and profit
I'm not done yet
Counterfeit dollars or the English zloty
Anything I can get

Some people get by
With a little understanding
Some people get by
With a whole lot more
I don't know
Why you gotta be so undemanding
One thing I know
I want more

(And I need all the love I can get)
(And I need all the love that I can't get to)
(And I need all the love I can get)
(And I need all the love that I can't get to)

All the love that you can get
All the love
That I can't get to...


🖤
