If I had a little sister, and I could talk to her I'd tell her everything I know, and everything I've learned What I've found out the hard way, might save her some tears So I'd share with her the wisdom of all my 16 years If I had a little sister, that's what I'd do
I'd say go easy on the make-up and easy on yourself Don't believe the grapevine, it's got nothing good to sell Fast forward past the drama, smile and walk on through And you'll always measure up if you compare yourself to you If I had a little sister, that's what I'd do
[:: CHORUS ::] Love with all that you have, 'cause all that you have is right here right now Dream as big as the sky, then bring it to life 'cause the one thing I've found Is time is all you can't take back, don't grow up too fast
Well this next part is my favorite, 'cause it's about the boys Yeah half of what they say is really just a bunch of noise You've got your whole life waiting, so don't get all caught up in talking about forever, it will happen soon enough If I had a little sister, that's what I'd do
[:: CHORUS ::] Love with all that you have, 'cause all that you have is right here right now Dream as big as the sky, then bring it to life 'cause the one thing I've found Is time is all you can't take back, don't grow up too fast
Don't eat spaghetti on your first date Keep all your secrets in a safe place And don't forget you're special in your own way
[:: CHORUS ::] Love with all that you have, 'cause all that you have is right here right now Dream as big as the sky, then bring it to life 'cause the one thing I've found Is time is all you can't take back, don't grow up too fast
