Brother Lover

It was the shortest love affair that existed

I wouldn't have botthered if she hadn't insisted

But saying no's never been a strong line of mine

Be it to a lady or a bottle of wine

So we danced for an hour

And we drank for another

Then she introduced me to her younger brother

And I looked on him as a brother of mine

But I wasn't quite sure how he looked on her

I wish I'd gone straight home to bed

I'd be watching the late film instead

Of laughing and lying and dying here

And fearing that something be said

Oh open the floor

I just can't take any more

She told me he was her brother

Now I find out that he's her lover

The light in his eyes that I'd noticed before

When I looked in the mirror on my bedroom door

It wasn't the way that you looked at your sister

Just then I noticed he'd started to kiss her

Well I may have been slow to accept all he said

Soon felt myself turn from milk white to red

And I'd have done something but this you must see

Any way I looked at him he looked six foot three

I wish I'd gone home to bed

I'd be watching the late film instead

Of laughing and lying and dying here

And fearing that something be said

Oh open the floor

I just can't take any more

She told me he was her brother

Now I find out that he's her lover

It was the shortest love affair that existed

I wouldn't have bothered if she hadn't insisted

But saying no's never been a strong line of mine

Be it to a lady or a bottle of wine

Be it to a lady or a bottle of wine

Be it to a lady or a bottle of wine
