My Brother Songtext

von Jim Capaldi

He's just a copy of his Father and Mother.
You'd never notice him up against another.
But this I've got to tell you my Brother.
He's the kind of guy who'll take you in.
But all he really wants to do is win.
And after you've given him everything.
He will try and bring you down.
And he'll lay you in the ground.
So don't let him get his way.
Or you'll be sorry someday.

I took my guitar to a local dance.
Asked the man there if he'd give me a chance.
But he just looked at me and smiled.
Here's what he said.
I'd like to help you sonny all that I can
But first you got to sign this contract
Here in my hand. But I told him no
That it wasn't my scene.

They will try and bring you down.
And they'll lay you in the ground.
So don't let them get their way.
Or you'll be sorry some day.
