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

I never meant for anything to get this far
I didn't mean to hurt you, thats just how things are
Listen to me my dear, thats 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 over, on 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 sum and dance our target
I lost my patience, then things went bad

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 say the ones the one, but I get so lonely
When you stay out
And it gets me angry, the things go by

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 that your sisters playing games with me
I wish you could have seen her 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
