Sister Said

Dm
Springtime is such a long way down the road.
Dm
Meantime, I've got a heart with a heavy load. 
Dm
I've got to remember what my sister said: 
Dm
While it's cold outside, girl, you've got to keep your head.


G                                Dm
Sister said, be careful when you walk on ice. 
G                              Dm
Sister said, be careful of the free advice.
G                                    Dm
Sister said, you'd better straighten up your bed 
A                                    A7
If tonight that's where you're gonna lay your head.


Dm
Sister, that's what my sister said. 
Dm
Sister, that's what my sister said.

The full moon is rising up in the sky.
Now I hear it spinning - oh my, oh my.
This full moon feeling is burning down in my soul.
If I can only remember the story my sister told.

Sister says temptation will be everywhere.
Sister says sometimes it's very cool to be square.
Sister says, beware of meeting Mr. Nice.
Sister's only giving sisterly advice.

Sister, that's what my sister said.
Sister, that's what my sister said.

C                                     Dm
Living in the city, it isn't easy to do. 
       C                                        A
You've got to have your sister watching after you, oh.

I, I, I, I, I know
My, my, my, my sister loves me so.

Sister says she loves me when she stands by me.
Sister says she loves me when she lets me be.
Sister's only looking out for me and you.
Now isn't that what sisters are supposed to do?

Sister, that's what my sister said.
Sister, that's what my sister said.
Sister, that's what my sister said.
Sister, that's what my sister said.
