SOB SISTER
(John D. Loudermilk)


Sue Thompson - 1961


You come to me when things aren't going right
And say you and your girl just had a fight
You bring your problems to me for advice
I get so lonely to know I'm only

A sob sister, sob sister
Who'll sit and listen to your sobs
Sob sister, sob sister
Who's sobbing her heart out for your love

You never bring pretty flowers to me, dear
Or whisper sweet nothings in my ear
You just bring your heart that she's broken, dear
For me to mend up, I'm just a friend

A sob sister, sob sister
Who'll sit and listen to your sobs
Sob sister, sob sister
Who's sobbing her heart out for your love

You don't know what I go through, dear, when you
Tell me you love the one that makes you blue
I want to cry, but who can I run to
I've just got my own shoulder to cry on

I get so lonely to know I'm only 
Your sob sister, sob sister 
Who'll sit and listen to your sobs
Sob sister, sob sister
Who's sobbing her heart out for your love
Who's sobbing her heart out for your love
