Sister, what are you going through somethings bothering you
And I think I know just what it is
Sister, it's all because of him now I don't mean to bud in
But I hate to see you going through

Now the road you are takin'
I have been there a time or two
Between me and you

When you love somebody like I love somebody
And when you've been hurt like I've been hurt
You'll understand how love has it's ups and downs
It's what you make it, oh yeah

Sister, I'm asking you don't let go he will be back I know
And I know it's hard for you to see
Sister, don't you throw away a good thing though your heart seems weak
You'll feel much better when you two speak

'Cause the road you are takin'
I have been there a time or two
Between me and you

When you love somebody like I love somebody
And when you've been hurt like I've been hurt
You'll understand how love has it's ups and downs
It's what you make it

When you love somebody like I love somebody
And when you've been hurt like I've been hurt
You'll understand how love has it's ups and downs
It's what you make it, oh yeah

When you fall in love, don't expect the pain
When the sun shines you don't plan on the rain
But if the weather changes you should be each others shelter
It's the only way that love will last forever

When you love somebody like I love somebody
And when you've been hurt like I've been hurt
You'll understand how love has it's ups and downs
It's what you make it

When you love somebody like I love somebody
And when you've been hurt like I've been hurt
You'll understand how love has it's ups and downs
It's what you make it

When you love somebody like I love somebody
And when you've been hurt like I've been hurt
