Amy LaVere - Big Sister Lyrics

Amy LaVere – Big Sister Lyrics

Big sister’s got a light above
Big sister, big shadow
She’s got the kinda shade
That makes me afraid
Big sister, big shadow

Big sister’s telling lies again
Big sister, big secret
I’m scared of her so
I won’t tell a soul
Big sister, big secret

She’s daddy’s girl
The one that made him sigh
And nice, pretty things sparkled in his eye
And just about the time these things lost their new
There came me

But only she could be daddy’s girl
I was the one
Who should’ve been daddy’s son

Big sister gets her first steps
Big sister learns to run
Big sister gets to daddy’s knee before me
Big sister’s no fun

And I’m just playing with things that she’s played out
And learning things she’s known about
One step behind, one step too slow
I can’t keep up
She won’t wait up

She’s daddy’s girl
And I was the one
Who should’ve been daddy’s son

Big sister gets new clothes
Big sister, big shadow
Big sister never wants me around
She don’t care where I go

Big sister gets to first base
Big sister, big tramp
Big sister’s wearing make-up on her face
She don’t care that I can’t

Big sister’s tellin’ lies again
Big sister, big secret
I’m scared of her so
I won’t tell a soul
Big sister, big secret

She’s got the kinda shade
That makes me afraid
Big sister, big shadow
