Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, deary me
My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed
I tell him he should get up 'cause it's nearly half past 3:00
He can't be bothered 'cause he's high on THC
I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea
I can't even see him 'cause his room is so smokey
Don't understand how one can watch so much TV
My baby brother Alfie, how I wish that you could see
[Chorus]
I only say it 'cause I care
So please, can you stop pulling my hair?
Now, now, there's no need to swear
Please don't despair, my dear mon frère
[Verse 2]
Oh, Alfie, get up, it's a brand new day
I just can't sit back and watch you waste your life away
You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid
Get off your lazy arse
Alfie, please use your brain
Surely, there's some walls out there that you can go and spray
I'm feeling guilty for leading you astray
Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid
When all you do is stay and play on your computer games?
[Chorus]
I only say it 'cause I care
So please, can you stop pullin' my hair?
Now, now, there's no need to swear
Please don't despair, my dear on frère
[Bridge]
Oh, little brother, please refrain from doing that
I'm tryin' to help you out, so can you stop being a twat?
It's time that you and I sit down and had a little chat
And look me in the eyes, take off that stupid fitted cap
[Chorus]
I only say it 'cause I care
So please, can you stop pullin' my hair?
Now, now, there's no need to swear
Please don't despair
Please don't despair
Mon frère
