(chorus)
My brother needs a girl to love
He goes out of his way not to seek her
So I'm looking out on his behalf
Won't somebody be my brother's keeper?
(verse the first)
He used to be the sweetest guy
Quiet, calm, assured
Now he goes out on the town
in ways much too absurd
A different girl for each weekday,
Dozen for the weekend.
He's known at all the swinging clubs,
all the one-night stands.
(chorus)
(verse the second)
Lost his mind, out of control
really is a shame
drinking, kissing sans discretion
his ex-flame to blame
I'm not saying she was wrong
Truth can cut both ways
He's more broken up than her
And needs a girl who'll stay
(chorus)
(middle 8)
I miss all of his attention
I miss all of his sense
My brother in his current state
is worth about tuppence
(instrumental bit, then...)
I'm not saying she was wrong
Truth can cut both ways
He's more broken up than her
And needs a girl who'll stay
(chorus)
