The O'Jays - Don't Call Me Brother lyrics

Don't you call me brother Unless you really, really mean it Don't you call me brother Unless you get yourself together How can you call me brother When you don't even respect my woman When I can't even trust you behind my back How can you call me brother, How can you do it? When you keep tryin' to rip me off? How in the world can you call me brother When we can't even have A man-to-man talk? And I'm tellin' you Don't you call me brother Hey! Don't do it Unless you really, really, really mean it (You don't really mean it) Don't do it Don't you call me brother Until you get yourself Get yourself together, brother How can you call me brother When you ain't even searchin' for the truth? How can you call me brother I can't never depend on you? Oh How can you call me brother When you still, you still Cheat and you lie? You cheat and you lie. Yeah, Oh How can you call me brother When you can't even look me in my eye? And I'm tellin' you Don't you call me brother Hey Unless you really, really, really mean it (You don't really mean it, no, no) Don't do it Don't you call me brother Until you get yourself Get yourself together, together (Brother!)
