Here I am, knocking on your door
Just like I've done ten thousand times before
I've seen some things I wish I'd never seen
Can I lie down on your floor?

Will you take me, make a fool of me all night
Take me, make a fool of me any way you like
Because you make me feel so nice
You make me feel alright

Sometimes you make me happy, sometimes you make me cry
Sometimes you make me happy, sometimes you make me cry
Sometimes you make me happy, sometimes you make me cry
You make me love you

Don't ever let me go again
Lock the door, hold me close and say my name
Don't ever let me go again
Lock the door, hold me close and say my name
Don't ever let me go again

Will you take me, make a fool of me all night
Take me, make a fool of me any way you like
Because you make me feel so nice
You make me feel alright

Don't ever let me go again
Lock the door, and hold me close and say my name
Don't ever let me go again
Lock the door, and hold me close and say my name
Don't ever let me go again
Lock the door, and hold me close and say my name
Don't ever let me go again

Sometimes you make me happy, sometimes you make me cry
Sometimes you make me happy, sometimes you make me cry
Sometimes you make me happy, sometimes you make me cry
You make me love you

Take me, make a fool of me all night
Take me, make a fool of me any way you like
Because you make me feel so nice
You make me feel alright

Sinéad O'Connor (who goes by Shuhada' Sadaqat in her private life) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 80s with her album The Lion and the Cobra and achieved worldwide success with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares to You” in 1990.

O'Connor was discovered in 1985 when Nigel Grainge of Ensign Records saw her band Ton Ton Macoute perform. Although he was not fond of the band’s music, he was impressed by O'Connor’s ‘amazing voice’. Grainge had O'Connor record four songs with Karl Wallinger (World Party) and signed her to his label. O'Connor’s first single was the song “Heroine” which she co-wrote with U2’s guitarist The Edge for the film Captive.

Her debut album The Lion and the Cobra was a sensation when it was released in 1987, reaching gold record status and earning a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination. O'Connor’s debut single “Troy” charted in The Netherlands and Belgium, and “Mandinka”, released in late 1987, cracked the top 20 in the UK and top 30 in three other European countries, helping her album chart well in Europe. Spin Magazine described the album as a “remarkable, still-spine-tingling first record”.
