Effie, it's been all these years
You havent even said, "hello."
I'm your brother, effie,
Say, "hello."
Come on, effie, you know i'm sorry
I should have come before today
Hold me is all i have to say

Effie
You've always been the baby

C.c.
But i'm trying to change

Effie
And so am i

Both
It's taken all these years to be free

Effie
Of loving that man

C.c.
Finding myself

Both
And getting a hold of the anger in me

C.c
Effie, i have a song
And only you can sing it the way it should be

Effie
I've waited so long to hear you say that to me
Say it again! say it again!

C.c.
Effie, sing my song the way it should be!
