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
