Love You Like a Brother

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

It was always you and me and him
A whiskey sour, beer and gin
We were having fun
When the night was over
You'd go off together leaving me alone, all alone
I stayed up every night, I had to find a way
I had to get to you
So I told you he was stepping outside
I said when you broke down and cried
Why don't you come to me?

She said I love you like a brother
And that's how it's got to stay
Because I don't need no reminder, oh-oh
Of the love that went away
And the more I desire
The less it does inspire
Because she says I remind her, oh-oh
Of the love she left behind, mm

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

I found myself in the same old place
In the bar, another lonely night to spend (night to spend)
But the first thing I saw when I walked in
Was my almost lover, and my ex best friend, mm
She was drinking all alone
And he was on the telephone
They wouldn't look at me
I went outside, I wanted to cry
It's a lonely life, ain't what it used to be

She said I love you like a brother
And that's how it's got to stay
Because I don't need no reminder, oh-oh
Of the love that went away (oh babe)
And the more I desire
The less it does inspire
Because she says I remind her, ooh
Of the love she left behind

She said I love you like a brother, yeah
And that's how it's got to stay
Because I don't need no reminder, ooh
Of the love that went away (love that got away)
And the more I desire
Oh, the less it does inspire
Because she says I remind her, oh-oh
Oh, of the love she left behind (of the love that went away)
Oh, I love, I love you, I love you, I love you, girl
Oh, that's how it's got to stay
