Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, little babe, you're changin'
Babe, are you feelin' sore?
Ain't no use in pretendin'
You don't wanna play no more
[Verse 2]
It's plain that you ain't no baby
What would your mother say?
You're all dressed up like a lady
How come you behave this way?
[Verse 3]
Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you'll find somebody
To love you half as much as me
My heart is always with you
No matter what you do
Sail away sweet sister
I'll always be in love with you
[Verse 4]
Forgive me for what I told you
My heart makes a fool of me
Ooh, you know I'll never hold you
I know that you gotta be free, yeah
[Verse 5]
Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you'll find somebody
To love you half as much as me
Take it the way you want it
When they let you down, my friend
Sail away sweet sister
Back to my arms again
[Verse 6]
Hot child, don't you know you're young?
You got your whole life ahead of you
You can throw it away too soon
Way too soon, yeah
[Verse 7]
Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you'll find somebody
Who's gonna love you half as much as me, yeah
My heart is always with you
No matter what you do
Sail away sweet sister
I'll always be in love with you
