I woke up in the middle of the night
I saw my sister dressing up
she wore that beautiful dress
and those black shoes
she smiled at me and she said,
"girl,why you're still awake?
I looked her and I wondered
and I asked her

sister,where are you going?
where are you going so late?
you know that daddy warned you
you know what mommy said
sister,where are you going?
where are you going so late?
you know,you know,you know...

she came next to me and she
whispered into my ear,
"I'm going to carnival,
there's clowns and pretty queens
and hot guys with their motorbikes,
I will come back soon,
go back to sleep
go back to sleep

sister,where are you going?
where are you going so late?
you know that daddy warned you
you know what mommy said
sister,where are you going?
where are you going so late?
you know,you know,you know...

and she toke her leather jacket and she
told me,"someday you'll understand,honey",
then she opened the window and
disappeared into the night
I looked at her and I,
and I wondered..

sister,where are you going?
where are you going so late?
you know that daddy warned you
you know what mommy said
sister,where are you going?
where are you going so late?
you know,you know,you know...
