You're Getting Like Your Sister - Bill Ryder-Jones

I never meant for anything to get this far

I didn’t mean to hurt you, that’s just how things are

Listen to me my dear, that’s what you said

I tipped the table over, on your promises

I threw a candle at you

Christina you were so pretty when we went to school

The other girls just wanted to be pretty too

And when they turned against you, I was there

But now I’m turning on you, and your promises

I’m piling rocks upon you

You didn’t have to run

I wasn’t gonna keep you, for very long

You had to make a song and dance our target

I lost my patience, then things went black

I never meant for anything to get this far

I didn’t mean for anyone to come to harm

But when I want to see you, I know where you’ll be

Past the country horses, by an apple tree

I could bring you roses

Christina I saw your sister on the road this week

I asked after your mother and she smiled at me

I don’t know how to tell you but I think she’s sweet

I think I’m falling for her, I think she’s falling for me

But I’ll keep coming for you

Why did you take so long?

You’re getting like your sister

You said I was the one, but I get so lonely

When you stay out

And it makes me angry, the things go black

I never meant for anything to get this far

I didn’t mean for anyone to come to harm

But when I want to see you, I know where you’ll be

Past the country horses, by an apple tree

I’ll keep it tidy for you

Christina now it’s your sisters playing games with me

I wish you could have seen the carry on this week

It all just makes me miss you a little more

But you’re just like each other, so you belong together

So I’ll stop coming for you
