Lyrics:
   Hey little babe you're changing
   Babe are you feeling sore?
   It ain't no use in pretending
   You don't wanna play no more

   It's plain that you ain't no baby
   What would your mother say?
   You're all dressed up like a lady
   How come you behave this way?

   Sail away sweet sister
   Sail across the sea
   Maybe you'll find somebody
   To love you half as much as me

   My heart is always with you
   No matter what you do
   Sail away sweet sister
   I'll always be in love with you

   Forgive me for what I told you
   My heart makes a fool of me
   You know that I'll never hold you
   I know that you gotta be free

   Sail away sweet sister
   Sail across the sea
   Maybe you'll find somebody
   To love you half as much as me

   Take it the way you want it
   But when they let you down my friend
   Sail away sweet sister
   Back to my arms again

   Hot child don't you know you're young
   You got your whole life ahead of you?
   And you can throw it away too soon
   Way too soon
