  • Little sister, don't you worry about a thing today
    Take the heat from the sun
    Little sister
    I know that everything is not okay
    But you're like honey on my tongue

    True love never can be rent
    But only true love can keep beauty innocent

    I could never take a chance
    Of losing love to find romance
    In the mysterious distance
    Between a man and a woman
    No, I could never take a chance
    'Cause I could never understand
    The mysterious distance
    Between a man and a woman

    You can run from love
    And if it's really love it will find you
    Catch you by the heel
    But you can't be numb for love
    The only pain is to feel nothing at all
    How can I hurt when I'm holding you?

    I could never take a chance
    Of losing love to find romance
    In the mysterious distance
    Between a man and a woman

    And you're the one, there's no-one else
    It makes me want to lose myself
    In the mysterious distance
    Between a man and a woman

    Brown-eyed girl across the street
    On rue Saint Divine
    I thought this is the one for me
    But she was already mine
    You were already mine

    Little sister
    I've been sleeping in the street again
    Like a stray dog
    And little sister
    I've been trying to feel complete again
    But you're gone and so is God

    The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
    When the soul wants, the soul waits

    But I could never take a chance
    Of losing love to find romance
    In the mysterious distance
    Between a man and a woman

    For love and faith and sex and fear
    And all the things that keep us here
    In the mysterious distance
    Between a man and a woman
    You'll see, you'll see
    How can I hurt when I'm holding you? Writer/s: Adam Clayton, Dave Evans, Larry Mullen, Paul Hewson
