(John Farrar) Trying to win your confidence just wears me down Trying to win your love will wear me out You've been loved by many girls but left by only one It made you doubt; it made you doubt There are those of us who try to use a boy There is nothing further from my mind As you will find Brotherly love won't do no harm A brotherly kiss on the cheek will only bring me comfort Brotherly love ain't all I need So if you love me in awhile Put away your brotherly smile Put a little trust in me and give again You can let your reservations go Put a little fire in the way you say hello And I will know; yes I will know Have a drink and make a resolution Resolve to put yourself into my hands Into my hands Brotherly love won't do no harm A brotherly kiss on the cheek will only bring me comfort Brotherly love ain't all I need So if you love me in awhile Put away your brotherly smile Brotherly love won't do no harm A brotherly kiss on the cheek will only bring me comfort Brotherly love ain't all I need So if you love me in awhile Put away your brotherly smile
