If I was your brother, I'd never let you play If I was your mother, I'd teach you every day To stop messing around the wrong way To turn out right without having to play Now tell me how does it feel To be on your own Saw you outside talking, taking things away You keep calling me sucker, but they nearly put you away Can't you get through your head Something that puts you away instead Now tell me how would it feel To be on your own When you're young, not old You may see the light I hope you're cool, not bold Loosen up your tights Right now you don't understand When you're a naughty little man Now tell me how would it feel To be on your own If I was your brother If I was your brother If I was your brother If I was your brother If I was your brother What would you do?
