Drifters, The - Like Sister And Brother Lyrics






It's such a small town, girl
News travels faster than a sigh

Everybody wants to know about
The next man's secret
Every time we meet upon the street
We've got to keep it

Like sister and brother
We'll wave to each other
We don't want all the world to know
We are really lovers

So, we'll talk about the weather
'Til we're alone together
Then all the world will fade and die
And baby, there is only you and I

You and me, baby
You and me, baby

Sometimes, it's hard to hide
Pent up emotions we both feel

I want to tell the world that I
I love you but I dare not say it
Until he let you go
There's only one way, we can play it

Well, like sister and brother
We'll wave to each other
We don't want all the world to know
We are really lovers

So, we'll talk about the weather
'Til we're alone together
Then all the world will fade and die
And baby there is only you and I

Baby
Don't it make you feel good?
Oh, baby, oh, baby

We'll wave to each other
We don't want all the world to know that
That we're really lovers

So, we'll talk about the weather
'Til we're alone together, baby
Then all the world will fade and die
And baby, there is only you and I
You and I, you and I

C'mon, c'mon
We don't want the whole wide world to know
That we're really lovers

'Til we're alone together, baby
Then all the world

    This song is so true to the words. I was in a relationship for nearly 4 months. Sadly it collapsed 2 days after my birthday 3 weeks ago. We were so close. We said to everyone we are both like brother and sister. Looking out for each other, until we were alone together.

  22. j.... B....

    Just to echo all the other comments.
    Born in 1961 and so grateful to be a teenager in the 1970s with so much beautiful soul music around.
    No mobile phones, iPads dreary reality tv - Saturday night was disco night.

  97. e.... r....

    I don't hear this song very often, but it always reminds me of a short lived liaison I had with a lady in the 1980's.
    It was great but it was never going to last.Now,at pushing 60,I haven't got the will to be bothered anymore.As Boy George said 'I'd rather have a nice cup of tea'!
