Lyrics
SISTER SLOW DOWN , YOU'RE MOVING SO FAST.
ALL YOU'RE TROUBLES LIE DEEP IN YOUR PAST.
HE CAME ALONG AND SAID HE JUST WANTED TO PLAY.
BUT YOU'RE HERE TODAY
YOU'RE GONNA BE OK
DON'T GIVE YOURSELF AWAY , JUST BECAUSE OF HIM.
SISTER DON'T YOU CRY
HE CAN'T HURT YOU NO MORE
YOU STILL HEAR THE SOUNDS OF HIS FOOTSTEPS ON YOUR YOUR FLOOR
AND A LITTLE GIRL PRAYIN' TO MAKE IT ALL JUST GO AWAY
BUT YOU'RE HERE TODAY
YOU'RE GONNA BE OK
DON'T GIVE YOURSELF AWAY JUST BECAUSE OF HIM
(CHORUS)
SISTER SLOW DOWN
YOU'RE GONNA MAKE IT WHEN YOU REALIZE IT WAS HIM AND NOT YOU , YOU WERE JUST A LITTLE GIRL DOIN WHAT YOU HAD TO DO
I'LL HELP YOU FIND THE LIGHT AT THE END OF YOUR ROAD
NO CHILD SHOULD HAVE TO CARRY SUCH A HEAVY LOAD.
YOU'RE ALL GROWN UP NOW BUT THE LITTLE GIRL SHE CRIES.
YOU TRY TO HIDE HER BUT SHE SHOWS IN YOUR EYES
THERE'S NOTHING MORE THAT I CAN DO OR I CAN SAY
BUT YOU'RE HERE TODAY
YOURE GONNA BE OK
DON'T GIVE YOURSELF AWAY
JUST BECAUSE OF HIM
(REPEAT CHORUS)
