Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, oh no no no, oh no no no
La da da da da da, la da da da da da
No no no no, no no no no
[Verse 2]
Oh, brother, brother, brother, yeah (Brother, brother, brother)
I know you've been layin' back a long time
Ah, but keep layin' a little longer, brother, yeah (Layin' brother)
Oh, brother, brother, brother (Brother, brother)
I've been watchin' everything you do (Oh yes I have)
Ah, and I've been wishin' on, wishin' only good for you
All you gotta do is just want it
And it's gonna come (It's gonna come), it's gonna come, you (Oh yeah)
(Gonna come for you)
Brother, brother, brother, yeah (Brother, brother, brother)
I know you've been layin' a long, long time (You've been layin' down)
Oh, I, I love you like no other, oh (Love ya like no other)
Brother, brother, brother, whoa-oh, yeah (Brother, brother, brother)
[Verse 3]
Oh oh yeah (Yeah)
Mmm, mmm, oh no
La da da da da da, la da da da da da
La da da da da da, la da da da da da
La da da da (La da da da da)
[Verse 4]
You have always been so good to me (Oh yes you have)
And though you didn't always talk to me
There wasn't much my lovin' eyes could not see (Oh I could not see)
And I don't believe, I don't believe you need all of your misery
[Verse 5]
Oh, brother, brother, brother, yeah (Brother, brother, brother)
I know you've been layin' back a long, long time (You been hanging on)
But keep hangin', hangin', hangin' on, brother (Hang on a little longer)
Oh, brother, brother, brother (Brother, brother, brother)
Oh ooh ooh, brother, brother, brother (Brother, brother, brother)
Yeah, yeah
La da da da da da, la da da da da da
Brother, brother, brother (Brother, brother, brother)
La da da da da da, la da da da da da
