Trying to win your confidence just wears me down

Trying to win your love will wear me out

You've been loved by many girls but left by only one

It made you doubt; it made you doubt

There are those of us who try to use a boy

There is nothing further from my mind

As you will find



Brotherly love won't do no harm

A brotherly kiss on the cheek will only bring me comfort

Brotherly love ain't all I need

So if you love me in awhile

Put away your brotherly smile



Put a little trust in me and give again

You can let your reservations go

Put a little fire in the way you say hello

And I will know; yes I will know

Have a drink and make a resolution

Resolve to put yourself into my hands

Into my hands



Brotherly love won't do no harm

A brotherly kiss on the cheek will only bring me comfort

Brotherly love ain't all I need

So if you love me in awhile

Put away your brotherly smile



Brotherly love won't do no harm

A brotherly kiss on the cheek will only bring me comfort

Brotherly love ain't all I need

So if you love me in awhile

Put away your brotherly smile
