Yes, you're known by the company you keep

You say you're doin' nothing wrong

I don't believe you are

I'm only trying to help you sis

Before you go too far

Cause i think you're an angel

But folks think that you're cheap

Cause you're known by the company you keep



Please listen to your big sister

I feel i know what's best for you

I feel that i must warn you sis

That's the least that i could do

I'm not accusing you of anything

I know it's fun you see

But you're known by the company you keep



The company you keep keeps you out too long

Mom and dad don't go to sleep until you get home

Sis, you're gettin' in too deep

You'd better look before you leave

Cause you're known by the company you keep



Sis, you're gettin' in too deep

The road of life is steep

And you're known by the company you keep
