You Work for Me Lyrics by Laura Mvula

Once on top, you're bound to fall
Hit the ground like autumn leaves
And I remember I started it all
Now I'm left with nothing
But the memories, when you came crawling back
And I took you back, told you one thing

Do you remember, you work for me
Don't forget you work for me
Nobody else, you work for me
Don't forget, you work for me
Nobody else

Dragged up, kicking and screaming
Tied to the bottom of the sea
I really don't care what you believe in
Just remember one thing

You work for me
Don't forget you work for me
Nobody else, you work for me
Don't forget, you work for me
Nobody else

Come when I call, get down on your knees
A promise doesn't mean a thing
Unless you bleed
You must remember

You work for me
Don't forget you work for me
Nobody else, you work for me
Don't forget, you work for me
