This song was first released on the soundtrack to Allan Arkush’s 1983 film “Get Crazy”. A film Lou Reed appears in.

Little Sister Lyrics
You know it's hard for me
I cannot use the phone
And in the shape of publicity
No relationship is born
And I feel like a Hercules who's recently been shorn
But I have always loved my baby sister
Pick me up at eight
You'll see me on TV
I know I don't look well
Time's not been good to me
But please believe me
The blame is all on me
I have always loved my baby sister
Remember when we were younger
When you would wait for me at school?
Teacher's friends and brazen sins
And I was often cruel
But you always believed in me
You thought I was the best
And now that I've got you alone
Let me get this off my chest
Pick a melody
Then count from one to ten
(Eight, nine, ten)
I'll make a rhyme up
And then we'll try again
To laugh or cry or give a sigh
To a past that might have been
And how much I really love my baby sister
And how much I really love my baby sister
And how much I really love my baby sister
