Little Sister lyrics

[Verse 1]

Little boy's supposed to do what he's told

Little girl's supposed to polish her toes

Maybe they're together when they're older and all grown up

Daddy's supposed to put bread on the table

Daddy's gone and your mama ain't able

Are you hungry when the money's all run out?

[Chorus]

Tell me little dear if you only lived here

Did you really ever live at all

Cause you'd be amazed in the summer how the days

Of the spring turn into fall

Just listen to your brother

You can run in the cover of the night sky when it falls

I know that you think that you're growing

But you're just tall

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]

A really pretty girl in a really small town

Easy to believe you that you never settle down

Mama told your mama just to say not long ago

You want a baby, the same as your friends

Ring'll find on your finger, and your story will end

You'll be lookin' 'round, wonder where did the time go?

[Chorus]

Tell me little dear if you only lived here

Did you really ever live at all

Cause you'd be amazed in the summer how the days

Of the spring turn into fall

Just listen to your brother

You can run in the cover of the night sky when it falls

I know that you think that you're growing

But you're just tall

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Bridge]

Woah-oh

Don't you think I know

There never was a red light in our town

Woah-oh

I hate to say I told you so

But you got to go right now

[Chorus]

Tell me little dear if you only lived here

Did you really ever live at all

Cause you'd be amazed in the summer how the days

Of the spring turn into fall

Just listen to your brother

You can run in the cover of the night sky when it falls

I know that you think that you're growing

But you're just tall

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
