Shakespears Sister

In this faded room
I sit
I need a home
But this isn't it

I need a heart
As hard as stone
I need a friend
You could be the one

You say I'm weak
You tell me I'm vain
I want a thrill
To ease the pain

Put on a record
Straight to my brain
But don't you ever
Put me down again

Oh baby baby
My time will come
Oh baby baby
Can you wait that long?

And as the storm clouds break
I run outside
To dance in the rain
You know I've always loved the storm
It's only you
That does me harm

Oh baby baby
I'm gonna prove you wrong
Oh baby baby
Can you wait that long?

(Faith, don't fail me now)

In this faded room
I sit
I need a home
But this isn't it

I need a heart
As hard as stone
I need a friend
You could be the one

You say I'm weak
You tell me I'm vain
I want a thrill
To ease the pain

Put on a record
Straight to my brain
But don't you ever
Put me down again

Oh baby baby
I'll prove you wrong
Oh baby baby
Can you wait that long?

Shakespear’s Sister is a pop-rock duo formed in 1988 by Siobhan Fahey, who left Bananarama after disagreements with the musical direction the band was going. The band was originally intended to be Fahey’s solo project, but immediately became a duo after she recruited American singer Marcella Detroit (aka Marcy Levy).
