Sister is the seventh track on Prince’s third album Dirty Mind, and, in late 1980, it was included on the US promo 12" of Head (which acted more like an album sampler than a promo for Head itself).
Dealing with the subject of incest, this song has been one of Prince’s most controversial songs since...
Sister Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was only 16, but I guess that's no excuse
My sister was 32, lovely and loose
She don't wear no underwear
She said it only gets in her hair
And it's got a funny way of stopping the juice
My sister never made love to anyone else but me
She's the reason for my, uh, sexuality
Showed me where it's supposed to go
A blow job doesn't mean blow
Incest is everything it's said to be
[Chorus]
Oh, sister
Don't put me on the street again
Oh, sister
I just want to be your friend
[Verse 2]
I was only 16 and only half a man
My sister didn't give a goddamn
She only wanted to turn me out
She took a whip to me until I shout
"Oh, motherfucker, sister, motherfucker
Can't you understand?"
[Chorus]
Oh, sister
Don't put me on the street again
Oh, sister
I just want to be your friend
[Outro]
I'll do what you want me to do
Don't put me on the street and make me blue
Oh, sister, ooh, sister, ooh
