Superfly Sister Lyrics

Love ain't what it used to be
That is what they're tellin' me
Push it in
Stick it out
That ain't what it's all about

He wanna do
Something keen to you
He wanna wrap
His arms all around you girl
He wanna shake it up
Shake it down
Doing it right
He wanna jump back
Half flap
Doing it right

He wanna lay you down
Turn it up
Shaking it and loose
He wanna fly high night right
Baby for you's

He wanna motormouth
Float around
Baby the back
He wanna shake it up
Shake it down
Moving round ha ha

Love ain't what it used to be
That is what they're tellin' me
Push it in
Stick it out
That ain't what it's all about

Susie like to agitate
Get the boy and make him wait
Mother's preaching Abraham
Brothers they don't
Give a damn

He wanna do
Something keen to you
He wanna wrap his arms
All around you girl
He wanna do it up
Get it hot
Deep in the night
He wanna eye ball
Get hard
Playing it right

He wanna turn the key
Work the sheets
Move to the left
He wanna hot stuff
Hot love
Making it wet

He wanna give hot
Jump shot
Move to the left
He wanna time bomb
Slam dunk ha ha ha

Keep it doin'
Party now

Love ain't what it used to be
That is what they're tellin' me
Push it in
Stick it out
That ain't what it's all about

Sister say she love him some
(She's doin' it, she's doin' it)
Got his Jimmy on the run
Mother's preaching Abraham
Brothers they don't
Give a damn

Johnny's begging pretty please
Keep the brother on his knees
Susie likes to agitate
(Keep doin' it, keep doin' it)
Get the boy and make him wait

Sister's married to a hood
Sayin' that she got it good
Holy Mary mercy me
Can't believe the things I see

Begin that they got it great
They doin'
What they used to date
Push it in
Stick it out
(Keep doin' it, keep doin' it)
That ain't what it's all about
(That ain't what it's all about)

Holy Mary mercy me
(She's holy Mary moly Mary)
Can't believe the things I see
(Goin' on now)
(Hee hee!)
Mother's preaching Abraham
(She's doin' it, she's doin' it)
Brothers they don't
Give a damn
(Hoo hoo!)
(Hoo! Hoo!)
(Holy Mary moly Mary)
Sister say she love him some
(She's goin' down)
(Hoo!)
Got his Jimmy on the run
(Is jammin')
(Hee hee!)
Holy Mary mercy me
(She's holy Mary moly Mary)
Can't believe the things I see
(Keep on goin')
(Hee!)
(Hee!)

She's doin' it
You're dirty
Keep doin' it
You're dirty
Keep nasty
You're nasty
You're doin' it
You're dirty
You're dirty
You're doin' it
You're nasty
You're doin' it
Keep dirty
Keep dirty
You really don't want it
Oooh!

Hoo!
Hoo!
(Go'on now)
Hoo!
Hoo!

(Oh)
(Close your eyes)
(I gotta make)
(Goin' it up)
(She's doin')
(She's join him)
(She's join)
(She's oh)
(She's)
(Hee!)
(Keep on goin')
(Party down)

Holy Mary mercy me
(Hoo!)
Can't believe the things I see
Push it in
Stick it out
That ain't what it's all about

Cover art for Superfly Sister lyrics by Michael Jackson

This song is Michael's opinion on young people's views on sex, like the kids that he talks to and stuff. It's difficult to write that without it sounding seedy, but I think its a serious message, paedo issues aside. I also think its about the trauma he feels his brother's less than private sex lives caused him when he was in the J5, hearing them screw groupies in the same room and stuff. I think that really messed him up and he's talking about it here; 'Holy Mary, mercy me. Can't believe the things I see...Brothers, they don't give a damn...'

yes i agree with you vesper teen. what i dont understand is that his brothers had sex with the girls in the same room as michael which isnt right.

I think this song is means that sex isn't everything, and that back then, love was real, not just about having sex without really loving that person. And when he says brothers, they don't give a d***, i'm pretty sure he means black men (usually the ghetto (no offense) ones. Although his brothers did always have sex with groupies when they were on too. I think many teenagers should listen to this song. Sex isn't what it's about.

I meant to say his brothers did have sex with groupies when they were on TOUR.

This could have been an outcry to his community.

That is absolutely true, DCR1998. The person doesn't have to rush for sex before their lover told them they love them. They have to take their time for sex soon.

Overall, this song questions sex and what it means, or shouldn't mean, to people. However there are also a few lyrics that discuss other issues in his life.

"Sister's married to a hood, saying that she got it good" He could mean sister as in any girl, but apparently Michael wasn't too keen on his sister Janet's first marriage. This may have something to do with his feelings on that.

"Mother's preaching Abraham, brothers they don't give damn" Michael's mother is a Jahova's Witness and brought her children up the same. However, Michael felt his brothers were somewhat unruly and cared more about having a good time and sleeping around.

Song Meaning

@ElectricGirrrl Agreed, the sister line could also refer to LaToya, as at the time she was estranged from her family and under the control of her manager/husband, who was alleged to have criminal ties.

The song is about La Toya's betrayal as she testified against her brother in Michael's child molestation trial in '91

Yeah, Vesper Teen, I think you hit the nail on the head.

Correction to thie lyrics: Above says "he wanna do something keen to you." But, he is saying "he wanna do something freaky to you."

I don't think Brothers in this context literally meant his brothers though.

I kinda think that Mike was shouting out black girls, saying 'get the boy and make him wait." This song seems to state that he found it unbelieveable at some of the things that are going on nowadays in relationships.

P.S. This song has really sexy lyrics, like in verse six.

I HAVE A FEELING SOME OF THIS SONG IS ABOUT JANET.

SISTER MARRIED TO A HOOD SAYING THAT SHE GOT IT GOOD

AND SOME IS ABOUT HIS BROTHERS AND ALL HIS GROUPIES AND ALL THE NASTY THINGS THEY DID AND HOW THEY DIDNT EVEN CARE BOUT THE GIRLS ALL THEY WANTED WAS SEX FROM THEY THEY DONT GIVE A DAMN.

LOVE AINT WHAT IT USED TO BE THAT IS WHAT THER'RE TELLIN ME PUSH IT IN STICK IT OUT THAT AINT WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT

HOLY MARY MERCY ME CANT BELIEVE THE THINGS I SEE PUSH IT IN STICK IT OUT THAT AINT WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT

I thought about that, but it could just be his views on thelack of love nowadays.
