The Nurse lyrics

Song information

Artist: The White Stripes
Album: Get Behind Me Satan

Lyrics

The nurse should not be the one who
Puts salt in your wounds
But it's always with trust that the posion
Is fed with a spoon
When you're helpless with no one to turn to
Alone in your room

You would swear
That the one who would care for you
Never would leave
She promised and said 'you will always be safe here with me'
But promises open a door to be broken to me

No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never
Gonna let you down now
No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never
Gonna let you down
No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never
Gonna let you down now
No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never
Gonna let you down

The maid that you've hired
Could never conspire to kill
She's to mother
Not quietly smother you
When you're most ill
The one that you're trusting
Suspisciously dusting the sill

No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never
Gonna let you down now
No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never
Gonna let you down
No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never
Gonna let you down now
No, I'm never, no, I'm never, no, I'm never
Gonna let you down
