Brotherly Love

Hazell Dean · Other Songs - Hazell Dean

We shared the same last name and the same color eyes

But we fought like tigers over that old red bike

I'm battin' first and you can't use my glove

It wouldn't take long 'til push came to shove

But, we looked out for each other with brotherly love.



You hated girls 'til I had my first date

I brought her home from the movies; you stayed up late

Three on the couch watchin' T.V.

I was smilin' at her while you were laughin' at me

But, I wouldn't trade it for nothin', brotherly love.



Chorus:

There's a bond that brothers know

And it gets stronger as they grow

A love that time and miles can't come between

We disagreed but in the end

There will never be two closer friends

And brotherly love is something we all need.



--- Instrumental ---



They share the same last name and the same color eyes

But they fight like tigers over one ol' red bike

And lookin' at them reminds me of us

They're gonna fight and they're gonna fuss

But, they got something special, it's brotherly love.



Yes, they got something special, it's brotherly love...
