Suzanne Vega - Brother Mine Lyrics
Sonny boy, you need new sneakersBetter go into town and get then friday nightCome to think of it, kid, you need just about everythingBut 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 troubleWent and got yourself into another fightCome on here, let me see your eye, now its all black and swollenBut I think youre gonna be all rightYes, I think that youre gonna be all right.I dont know why youre such a troublemakerYoud think that maybe by now youd see the lightGetting yourself torn up, boy, and we dont have that much moneyBut I think maybe things will be all right,Yes, I think maybe things will be all right.Now maybe I shouldnt yellcause I know youre just a kidBut I cant always tellWhats on your mind, half of the time, brother mine.Now I know that youre just my little brotherAnd I dont expect you to get everything just rightBut I think you ought to use a little more sense than what youre usingAnd 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 muchEspecially when you come home such a sightBut I guess what youve got to do, boy, you go ahead and do itAnd 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 brotherCome on back here and let me kiss you goodnightcause I know if you were gone Id miss the sound of laughterAnd thats gonna make everything all right,Yes, thats gonna make everything all right.(may 12, 1974)
