Love You Like A Brother Lyrics - No Goodbyes - Hall & Oates

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 

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 

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
