[Verse 1]
When I opened my eyes in your bedroom
Saw a painting of a bald lady
When I opened my eyes in your bedroom
Saw a woman looked just like me
Kissing gently as only she would
A man made of stone who's crying blood

A giant man of stone is crying
A gentle lady rests her face
Her cheek against his, oh so softly
She's just a figure full of grace

[Chorus]
The voice of my doctor
Keeps interrupting my view
It says "Oh you've gone and let another fool make a fool out of you"

Oh and I did, I did, oh yes I did
Cause' you never said you have a girl you love
Oh, you tricked me into thinking that you loved me
You tricked me into making love

[Verse 2]
Well I wrote I love you on her shoulder
When I left you last night
I wrote I love you on her shoulder
When I left you last night
Yeah another stupid woman left a little message
Left a little message for your wife

[Chorus]

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”.
