Yes, you're known by the company you keep 
You say you're doin' nothing wrong 
I don't believe you are 
I'm only trying to help you sis 
Before you go too far 
Cause I think you're an angel 
But folks think that you're cheap 
Cause you're known by the company you keep 

Please listen to your big sister 
I feel I know what's best for you 
I feel that I must warn you sis 
That's the least that I could do 
I'm not accusing you of anything 
I know it's fun you see 
But you're known by the company you keep 

The company you keep keeps you out too long 
Mom and dad don't go to sleep until you get home 
Sis, you're gettin' in too deep 
You'd better look before you leave 
Cause you're known by the company you keep 

Sis, you're gettin' in too deep 
The road of life is steep 
And you're known by the company you keep
