Little sister, don't you worry about a thing today Take the heat from the sun Little sister I know that everything is not okay But you're like honey on my tongue True love never can be rent But only true love can keep beauty innocent I could never take a chance Of losing love to find romance In the mysterious distance Between a man and a woman No, I could never take a chance 'Cause I could never understand The mysterious distance Between a man and a woman You can run from love And if it's really love it will find you Catch you by the heel But you can't be numb for love The only pain is to feel nothing at all How can I hurt when I'm holding you? I could never take a chance Of losing love to find romance In the mysterious distance Between a man and a woman And you're the one, there's no-one else It makes me want to lose myself In the mysterious distance Between a man and a woman Brown-eyed girl across the street On rue Saint Divine I thought this is the one for me But she was already mine You were already mine... Little sister I've been sleeping in the street again Like a stray dog And little sister I've been trying to feel complete again But you're gone and so is God The soul needs beauty for a soul mate When the soul wants, the soul waits But I could never take a chance Of losing love to find romance In the mysterious distance Between a man and a woman For love and faith and sex and fear And all the things that keep us here In the mysterious distance Between a man and a woman How can I hurt when I'm holding you?
