Carly Simon - Older Sister Lyrics
(carly simon)She rides in the front seat, shes my older sisterShe knows her power over meShe goes to bed an hour later than I doWhen she turns the lights outWhat does she think about?And what does she do in the daylightThat makes her so great?Oh but to be, oh but to be, oh but to be, Id like to beMy older sisterShe flies throught the back door, shes my older sisterShe throws french phrases round the roomShe has ice skates and legs that fit right inShes wicked to all the beaming dreamersWholl later boast of an eveningBy her fiery sideOh but to be, oh but to be, oh but to be, Id like to beMy older sisterAnd in her black gymnastic tightsShe runs into some elastic nightsSophisticated sister sings for theSoldiers of the soccer teamTheir silver i.d.s and sororitiesThey tinker with love in their model tsOh lord, wont you let me be her for just one dayShe turns everybodys headsWhile I wear her last years threadsWith patches and stitches and a turned up hemOh, but to be, oh but to be, Id like to be, just once to beMy older sister
