C#maj7
Brother;
C#m7                F#7      Bmaj7        G#7sus4  G#7
There's so much that I could never say to your face.
    C#maj7
But by now,
C#m7                F#7               Bmaj7 G#7sus4       G#7
You should know the world and all its ways; so find your place.

How do I find words that do not condescend?
When she bore you before me
'Cause she doesn't need a child, she needs a friend
A son, not a sob story, ooh

Chorus:
C#maj7                              C#m7             F#7
Now you must look out for her, the way she did for you.
    Bmaj7                     G#7sus4 G#7
And your priority; it must be her.
C#maj7                             C#m7             F#7
Now you must look out for her, the way she did for you.
Bmaj7                          G#7sus4  G#7
'Cos we'll never be the way we were.  (Ooh, ooh, hoo).

She can't always be there just to hold you down
Our mother
When you are at a age now where life turns around
My brother

Realise that you don't have to answer to no man
Responsibility comes down to you
But how can I expect you to understand
When you live life like it's a run-through

Chorus:
(Now you must look out for her the way she did for you)
Ooh, your priority, it must be her
(Now you must look out for her the way she did for you)
(Now you must look out)
'Cause we'll never be the way we were
(Now you must look out for her the way she did for you)
(Now you must)
And your priority, it must be her
(Now you must look after her the way she did for you)
(Now you must look out for her)
'Cause we'll never be the way we were

The way we were
We'll never be
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And your priority, it must be her
Ooh-ooh-ooh
