Why not say it like it is,
Like you know you should?
Before they break your little heart
Ooh Break it good.

Your feelings are way inside
And never let you down
So why not say it like it is?
Even if it don't make yo' momma proud.

Why change your mind when you make it up?
Second chances don't come easy,
easy for some.
Baby I don't know the lock from the key,
But I know one of them is you,
And the other one's me.

So if it's happiness you want
Well that's what you'll get
You've gotta rise up little sister,
Turn on the light.
Wise up to the stories you've been told,
Cuz love don't come in black or white. Oh no, no, no.

My momma tells me I won't get through the pearly gates,
Cuz I ain't sorry for my sins
And all my mistakes.
Momma I don't know if I'm going up or down,
But I know heaven's gonna be a one and only town.

But if it's happiness you want
Well, that's what you'll get
You've gotta rise up little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told,
Cuz love don't come in black or white. Oh no, no, no. No, no.

(Interlude)

Oh, yeah, Rise up little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told,

Whoa-ah-oh yeah

Rise up little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told,
Cuz love don't come in black or white.

Rise up little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories

Rise up, open your eyes
Love don't come in black or white Oh,no
Wise up to the stories you've been told
You know love don't come in black or white
Yeah little sister, you gotta rise up. Oh
