Sister, what are you going through,
Somethings bothering you,
And I think I know just what it is,
Sister, its all because of him,
Now I don't mean to bud in,
But I hate to see you going through

[hook]
Now the road you are taken,
I have been there,
A time or two,
Between me and you

[chorus]
When you love somebody,
Like I love somebody
And when you've been hurt,
Like I've been hurt,
You'll understand how,
Love has it's ups and downs,
It's what you make it

Sister, I'm asking you don't let go,
He will be back I know,
And I know it's hard for you to see,
Sister, don't you throw away a good thing,
Though your heart seems weak,
You'll feel better when you two speak

[hook]

[chorus]
