It was always you and me and him A whiskey sour, beer and gin We were having fun When the night was over Youd 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 dont you come to me She said I love you like a brother And thats how its got to stay Because I dont 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 wouldnt look at me I went outside, I wanted to cry Its a lonely life, aint what it used to be She said I love you like a brother And thats how its got to stay Because I dont 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 thats how its got to stay Because I dont 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
