Don't Call Me Brother (Album Version)
The O'Jays
(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 --
(Chorus:)
Don't you call me brother
(Eddie:)
Hey! Don't dont it
unless you really, really, really mean it (Walter:You don't really mean it)
Don't do it
(Chorus:)
Don't you call me brother
(Eddie Levert sings:)
Until you get yourself,
get yourself together, brother
(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!
unless you really, really, really mean it (Walter:You don't really mean it, No, No)
Don't do it
(Chorus:)
Don't you call me brother
(Eddie:)
Until you get yourself,
get yourself together, together (Walter: Brother!)
(Eddie:)
So I'm tellin' you:
(Chorus:)
Don't you call me brother

Don't You -- Don't You --
unless you really, really, really, really mean it!
Don't come around here -- with all this money and shaking
Don't do it -- Don't do it -- Don't do it!
(Chorus:)
Don't you call me brother
(Walter:)
You don't really mean it -- You're just trying to rip me off --
I don't Go away! Go Away! Don't do it!

all torn out on my dashboard!

Backbiter! -- Backstabber!
Low down -- cheatin' -- rotten -- No good -- No good -- (Whoo!!!)
