The Basics - Like A Brother

I had you once,
and now Nadine
I just can't seem
to get you off my mind.

"You're like a brother to me," she said -
I took it with a smile,
confrontation's not my style
you see...

"I like the way we relate.
That's right - there's an element of trust,
you're not going to get me drunk,
you're not going to take advantage of me."

Tell me, pretty baby,
did you sleep with him tonight?
I've seen your face on the SMS,
in the pale dim of the light.

I've known you for the longest time
and I think I could say I know you well,
but lately things just haven't been feeling,
lately things just haven't been feeling,
lately things just haven't been feeling right...
(lately things just haven't been feeling right)

I had you once,
and now Nadine
I just can't seem
to get you off my mind.

Girl, give me something.
Girl, give me something,
Girl, give me something,
'cause I got nothin'.
(repeat)

"You're like a brother to me," she said -
I took it with a grin,
confrontation's not my thing, you see...
"I like the way that you play guitar..."

My coffee's black, I can't relax.
The sky is blue, 'cause it's missing you.
The sea is green, I'm full of envy
and I'm seeing red....

I had you once,
and now Nadine
I just can't seem
to get you off my mind.
