Hall Oates Love You Like A Brother Lyrics

Love You Like A Brother Lyrics

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



Of the love that went away



And the more I desire,



The less it does inspire



Because she says I remind her



Of the love she left behind











I found myself in the same old place



In the bar, another lonely night to spend



But the first thing I saw when I walked in



Was my almost lover, and my ex best friend



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











(* repeat 2 times and fade)
