lyrics

LITTLE SISTER - SKINNY ALLEY / ESCAPE THE ROAR / 2003 / Virgin Records

You're taking what is mine, though I tell you all the time
You never listen
It's always been this way, you keep lookin over my shoulder
To see what you're missing
You're daddy's little princess, but you're still so insecure
You're just a greedy little girl
Wanting more and more and more and more

I never understood it,
What is it about the things I own
That the moment you see them, you feel that you need them
Like a dog cravin a bone.

I let you have your way but this time I've gotta say
That it matters
Not gonna sit back this time and watch
While my heart shatters
Who do you think you are
Who do you wanna be
Arent you happy being yourself
Why do you wanna be me

Why dont you, why dont you
Get a life of your own? (repeat)
Little sister...

Who do you think you are
Who do you wanna be
Arent you happy being yourself
Why do you wanna be me...

Keep taking what is mine
Though I tell you all the time
You never listen...
