Sister

[Kelly Price:]
Sister, you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright
My sister, you don't have to weep
'Cause things are getting better

Sister, you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright (My sister)
My sister, you don't have to weep
'Cause things are getting better

A mother worries about the son she raised alone
'Cause he is flirting with danger and it's getting close
But he won't listen, she prays to God and asks him
Would you please protect him, but she is not alone
A young girl is lying about the weight she's gaining
Because she is hiding a baby that her boyfriend says
He didn't father, he said he was in love but now
He can't be bothered but keep your head up high
Little sister

Sister, you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright
My sister, you don't have to weep
'Cause things are getting better

Sister, you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright
My sister, you don't have to weep
'Cause things are getting better

[Faith Evans (Kelly Price) {Both}:]
You're strugglin' (Strugglin'), trying (Trying)
You're working days and school
At night, the bills are piling
Patience low and pressure's high
And you can't {take it}
You say, you'll just throw up your hands
But you can make it
Somebody understands, ooh

[Kelly Price {Faith Evans}:]
Sister, you don't have to cry {Sister}
Everything will be alright (Oh, my)
My sister, you don't have to weep {You don't have to weep}
'Cause things are getting better (Getting better)

Sister, you don't have to cry (Yeah, yeah)
Everything will be alright {No, ooh}
My sister, you don't have to weep
'Cause things are getting better (Oh, you are)

Strong and you're beautiful
You should see, you should know {See, you}
Strong and you're beautiful
Sister, sister, sister, sister {My sister}
Strong and you're beautiful {So strong}
You should see, you should know (mm)
Strong and you're beautiful
Sister, it's gonna be alright

Sister, you don't have to cry {Woo, oh}
Everything will be alright {Said you don't}
My sister, you don't have to weep
'Cause things are getting better (You don't have to cry no more)

Sister, you don't have to cry {Oh, yeah}
Everything will be alright (Oh, you are my sister)
My sister, you don't have to weep
'Cause things are getting better (La la)

Sister, you don't have to cry {Dry your eyes}
Everything will be alright {Don't have to cry}
My sister, you don't have to weep
'Cause things are getting better {No} (getting better)

Sister, you don't have to cry
Everything will be alright (Oh, the sun is gonna shine again)
My sister, you don't have to weep {No}
'Cause things are getting better (La la)
