You just don't understand
I was home just the other day
When someone told me that you're still with the man
That you left long time ago

Oh, I'm not tryin' to play in your love affair
But you mean so much to me
When I see those teardrops in your eyes
It all comes back to me

Oh, my little sister
I can be your shoulder to cry on
But you're a big girl now
And you can't waste your life away ooh

Golden teardrops, chasing rainbows
Will help you to ease your mind
But you've got to let go sometime
Golden teardrops, chasing rainbows

Will help you to ease your mind
But you've got to let go sometime
Oh, my little sister
I'm not tryin' to tell you what to do

But the wounds that I thought
Would have healed by now
Are still tearing you apart
I can dry your eyes, but I won't tell you lies
But you got to be strong
Need to take control of your life
