Brother Mine - Suzanne Vega
Sonny boy, you need new sneakers
Better go into town and get then friday night
Come to think of it, kid, you need just about everything
But I think things are gonna be all right,
Yes, I think things are gonna be all right.
So you went and got yourself back into trouble
Went and got yourself into another fight
Come on here, let me see your eye, now its all black and swollen
But I think youre gonna be all right
Yes, I think that youre gonna be all right.
I dont know why youre such a troublemaker
Youd think that maybe by now youd see the light
Getting yourself torn up, boy, and we dont have that much money
But I think maybe things will be all right,
Yes, I think maybe things will be all right.
Now maybe I shouldnt yell
cause I know youre just a kid
But I cant always tell
Whats on your mind, half of the time, brother mine.
Now I know that youre just my little brother
And I dont expect you to get everything just right
But I think you ought to use a little more sense than what youre using
And maybe then things would be all right,
Yes, and maybe then thing would be all right.
I know that I sit and I worry too much
Especially when you come home such a sight
But I guess what youve got to do, boy, you go ahead and do it
And I sure hope thing will be all right,
Yes, I sure hope things will be all right.
Now you come back here, you scruffy little brother
Come on back here and let me kiss you goodnight
cause I know if you were gone Id miss the sound of laughter
And thats gonna make everything all right,
Yes, thats gonna make everything all right.
