Take my advice if you want a lover
I'm not going to be your brother
Are you afraid of what you might want to do
Or is reality hard for you?
(Yeah) You've got to get yourself together
(Yeah) While you're treating me like bad weather
(Yeah) Scared your friends will get on you, yeah
(Yeah) You were too cautious when I warned you
One of these days you're gonna take off my shoes
You're gonna bring me the paper so I can read the news
I'm gonna love you so good
I'm gonna blow your mind
The thought of my love will got to harrow your tide
(Yeah) Ain't nowhere for you to run
(Yeah) Your hope and wishes killed all your fun
(Yeah) Exhibition of what you don't know, yeah
(Yeah) Might be the reason for you to blow, oh yeah
Relax your mind and show your heart
I've never been your brother even from the start
I've always loved you, let me see your heart
Take down that wall, play your part
I'm not going to be your brother
