(Chorus)

Don't you call me brother

(Eddie:}

Unless you really, really

mean it

(Chorus)

Don't you call me brother

(Eddie:)

Unless you get yourself together

(Walter:)

How can you call me brother

when you don't even respect my woman

when I cant even trust you behind my back

(Eddie:)

How can you call me brother -- How can you do it?

whe you keep tryin' to rip me off?

How in the world can you call me brother

when we can't even have

a man-to-man talk?

And I'm tellin' you --

(Walter Williams sings :)

How can you call me brother --

when you aint even searchin' for the truth?

How can you call me brother

I can't never depend on you? Ohhh

(Eddie:)

How can you call me brother

when you still -- you still

cheat and you lie? You cheat and you lie. Yeah -- Ohhh!

How can you call me brother

When you can't even look me in my eye?

And I'm tellin' you --

(Chorus:)

Don't you call me brother

(Eddie:)

Hey!
