You say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don't understand
You said you loved me and that's a fact
You say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don't understand
You said you loved me and that's a fact
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhh ooohhhhhhhhh.
Each day through my window I watch out as she passes by,
I say to myself you're such a lucky guy,
You were my sun, you were my earth
but you didnt know all the ways I loved you, no
So you took a chance, made other plans
Hey Sister, Go Sister, Soul Sister, Go Sister (x2)
He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
Struttin' her stuff on the street
They pulled in just behind the bridge
He lays her down, he frowns
"Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?"
I'm gonna write a little letter,
Gonna mail it to my local DJ.
Yeah an' it's a jumpin' little record
Don't want your lo-o-o-o-ove anymore.
Don't want your ki-i-i-i-isses, that's for sure.
I die each time
Lines form on my face and hands
Lines form from the ups and downs
I'm in the middle without any plans
Lights go out and I can’t be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Brought me down upon my knees
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
