Sister 2 Sister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She wont leave me alone
When im talkin to that guy
She can be a real nightmare
Gets me to do her hair
And says it never turns out right
But when i put on a face
Cause she knows me so well
(Chorus)
Closer than my closest friend
Someone who will be there till the end
My sister, sister
Deeper than the deepest sea
No-one loves you like your family
My sister, sister
She reads my diary
She borrows stuff from me
An i never get it back again
An she, an she
Locks the bathroom door
She says five minuets more
In an hour an im still not in
An sometimes we fight
Every family does
But that cant change our love
(chorus)
To celebrate the good times
To help me through the hard times
To bring me down to earth
Remind me what ive done
An who comes first
Gotta tell you who im talkin bout
My sister sister
No doubt about it
Who im talkin bout
My sister sister
She watches out for me
I know she'll always be by my side
(chorus)
