sister if I had a man
who wouldn't mind to let me down
who'd always treat me like a clown
what would you say

sister if i loved this man
who'd never come to treat me right
who'd always put me through this fright of losing him

what would you do
what would you say
wouldn't you tell me to get rid of him straight away
would you sit back and watch him break my heart
well that's not what I do

sister if I took him back
time after time and on and on
no matter what he did me wrong
what would you say

what would you do
what would you say
wouldn't you tell me to get rid of him straight away
would you sit back and watch him break my heart
well that's not what I do
that's not what i say
honey you shouldn't let him play with your heart this way
so why won't you listen when I tell you this
just hear me out
honey be strong none should hurt you like he does
and you know it's wrong and it breaks my heart
to watch him break your heart
you know what to do
only you
know what to do
