Oh, Brother!



Dear, love is a burning fire
Stay, 'cause then the flames grows higher
Babe, don't let him steal your heart, it's easy, easy
Girl, this game can't last forever
Why we cannot live together
Try, don't let him take your love from me

You're no good, can't you see, Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
I'm in love, set her free, oh, she's only looking to me
Only love breaks her heart, Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Only love's paradise, oh, she's only looking to me
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie, oh, she's only looking to me
Oh, let it Louie, she is undercover
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie, oh, doing what he's doing
So leave it Louie cause I'm a lover

Stay, 'cause this boy wants to gamble
Stay, love's more than he can handle, girl
Oh, come on stay by me forever, ever
Why does he go on pretending
That his love is never ending
Babe, don't let him steal your love from me

You're no good, can't you see, Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
I'm in love, set her free, oh, she's only looking to me
Only love breaks her heart, Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Only love's paradise, oh, she's only looking to me

Brother Louie, Louie, Louie, oh, she's only looking to me
Oh, let it Louie, she is undercover
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie, oh, doing what he's doing
So leave it Louie cause I'm a lover
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie, oh, she's only looking to me
Oh, let it Louie, she is undercover
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie, oh, doing what he's doing
So leave it Louie cause I'm a lover
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie, oh, she's only looking to me
Oh, let it Louie
