Hall & Oates - 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)
