Hall & Oates - Love You Like A Brother lyrics

It was always you and me and him<br>A whiskey sour, beer and gin<br>We were having fun<br>When the night was over<br>You'd go off together leaving me alone,<br>All alone<br>I stayed up every night, I had to find a way<br>I had to get to you<br>So I told you he was stepping outside<br>I said when you broke down and cried<br>Why don't you come to me<br><br>* she said I love you like a brother<br>And that's how it's got to stay<br>Because I don't need no reminder<br>Of the love that went away<br>And the more I desire,<br>The less it does inspire<br>Because she says I remind her<br>Of the love she left behind<br><br>I found myself in the same old place<br>In the bar, another lonely night to spend<br>But the first thing I saw when I walked in<br>Was my almost lover, and my ex best friend<br>She was drinking all alone<br>And he was on the telephone<br>They wouldn't look at me<br>I went outside, I wanted to cry<br>It's a lonely life, ain't what it used to be<br><br>(* repeat 2 times and fade)
