The Lyrics
Something us guys just hate to hear...
When I want to go out, I might ask you to drive
You can let me cut in while you're waiting in line
And I know all your friends say how good we could be
I think that you're nice but you're more like a brother to me
I'm taking advantage, that's what people think
When I don't have the cash, you can buy me a drink
You'll hold onto my purse when I have to go pee
Yeah I know that it's cute, but you're more like a brother to me
Ooooh, with my puppy dog eyes, and a peck on the cheek
I can get what I need
Ooooh, and you'll never give up, and you'll never give in
Cause you're such a good seed
And I'll flash you a smile in my new formal gown
And I'll make you look good on a night on the town
But if you want some action, I'll just make you frown
You can grumble all night, but you're still like a brother to me
Ooooh, with my puppy dog eyes, and a peck on the cheek
I can get what I need
Ooooh, and you'll never give up, and you'll never give in
Cause you're such a good seed
When I find out my boyfriend is cheatin and lyin
You will always be there with a shoulder to cry on
And I'll tell you you're probably too good to me
But if you ask me out, I will just make you pout
Cause you're more like a brother to me
You can let me cut in while you're waiting in line
And I know all your friends say how good we could be
I think that you're nice but you're more like a brother to me
I'm taking advantage, that's what people think
When I don't have the cash, you can buy me a drink
You'll hold onto my purse when I have to go pee
Yeah I know that it's cute, but you're more like a brother to me
Ooooh, with my puppy dog eyes, and a peck on the cheek
I can get what I need
Ooooh, and you'll never give up, and you'll never give in
Cause you're such a good seed
And I'll flash you a smile in my new formal gown
And I'll make you look good on a night on the town
But if you want some action, I'll just make you frown
You can grumble all night, but you're still like a brother to me
Ooooh, with my puppy dog eyes, and a peck on the cheek
I can get what I need
Ooooh, and you'll never give up, and you'll never give in
Cause you're such a good seed
When I find out my boyfriend is cheatin and lyin
You will always be there with a shoulder to cry on
And I'll tell you you're probably too good to me
But if you ask me out, I will just make you pout
Cause you're more like a brother to me

Been there... done that... got the t-shirt :-)
Loved the original, adore the parody! Nice work, Jeff!
Um...Jeff, I think we need to talk about about you writing parodies so quickly after reading my diary...; ) FABulous, Mr. Reuben!! 5s...
Heh heh, remember Riff-Raff and Magenta? Heh heh, let's do the Time Warp again. 555
Phil, Rox, Arwen...thanks! JD, yes, too funny =)
This has never happened to me. Well, once, but it was actually my sister so it doesn't count. Just kidding; well done.
Oh dear...I've been guilty of such behavior. Thank you for making me feel like a total ass, Jeff! Fabulous job!
Claude...thanks! Ash...anytime
Oh, this brings back "fond" memories of my single days. Her name was...oh never mind.
This woman DOES know you're not gay, right?
very very funny Jeff! the verbal equivalent of a "DEAD END" sign - and heart-breaking - great work/insight - 555
5-5-5...hey, you guys think this is bad when you hear this from a girl that you just met for the first time in a bar?
Yes, some of the saddest words of tongue and pen...5's, Mr. Reuben, for a solid-pegging of a sad phenomena...
Billy, she should at least get to know you a bit first before using that line.
Loved the parody! Three fives! Even worse is when she tells him he's "more like a big sister."
Thats what I thought Jeff lol
Truly tragic, Jeff...in the best possible way! 555
Jeff! Outstanding, I have used that line a time or two. Sorry if it was one of you out there! All 5's!
This is SO GOOD. Damn. You totally nailed it. (Though not her, unfortunately...)
Grrrreat stuff, Jeffaroo. But it bugs me more when they say I'm more like a sister.
Spaff, you need to stop wearing those skirts.
I don't think it's the skirts: reckon he just can't kick the habit (the nun's habit, that is ;-))
This was HILARIOUS! Great job! 555
(SOTM) There's a song by Megadeth (1000 times goodbye) who has a full phone it's-over-now conversation and is ending with the female saying those words to Dave and with him quite brutally hanging up in her ear. I'll recommended if you're looking for more brutal riffs to accompany those feelings. :-)
K1...very good with the Megadeth reference!
(SOTM) Really good...everything! (pacing, funny, etc) Heartbreaking, but funny. 5's
Forgot to put this in my initial comment (SOTM) :)
Only one thing to do when she says that.....move to Alabama!
(SOTM) Sounds like heartache to me.
SOTM--yep, that's basically my comment. This is, in my book, the Song of the Month! I LOVE it!!
(SOTM) LOL!
(SOTM) Ooh boy, does that take me back. I'm with you, brothers.
Very good title, very good parody.
(SOTM) This was so cute, I HAD to send it to my boyfriend...I wonder why he hasn't called since...
I love this just as much, if not more, the second go-round. Painfully, hilariously true, Jeffaroo.
But enough about you - let's talk about me. I just realized that I stole Olvan's joke. Sorry, Mr. Terrible. As for Philbo's reply - How much sincerity would there be in my denial? Nun.

(SOTM) Jeff, good stuff!
(SOTM) See above
(SOTM) already commented, but still very plaintive, Jeff
Still love it. At least it's not "You're more like a perverted uncle..."
OMG Jeff, I feel the pain shine through. Thought it was great, except for the reality that bit me on the ass as I was reading it. 5's for you simply having been there and having to go through it. I'm back off to the therapist again now, thanks to this! LOL!
(SOTM) Very good one, Jeff.
(SOTM) Perhaps it's just because this is the first one I came across that I actually knew the original at all well... but I'm really liking this one. Or maybe it's because I totally identify with the problem being sung about (though I suppose that's probably pretty universal among straight guys). In any event, 5s all around, and good luck.
(SOTM) Another gem in the contest...voting is going to be very difficult, I see...(sigh...)...but it's been fun checking them all out...
superb parody .... encapsulates the issue so well and is painfully funny with it....
This is first rate, and well deserving of all the 5's. Have three more.
(ABC-Y) I know I've read this before. I thought I had commented on it as well. Guess not. Very clever parody, well paced and naturally flown.
(ABC) already commented and voted...still good!
Whenever they use that excuse, I take it as a cue to punch their arm, hang their trainer bras from the school flag pole and dribble on their foreheads while they're sleeping. Funny work, Jeff! 555
(ABC) Missed the first (gulp) and second time round. Pretty good tune!
(ABC) See above.
(ABC) already commented
Damn... I know I've been here before and I'd swear I commented while I was... but anyway, great, great parody. I'm not sure if I"m echoing any of the above comments, but it's even worse when it's a group of girls who 'just wanna be friends'. Oh, sure, you look like a pimp in all the photos but after a certain time frame, they should really draw straws to see who's gonna take one for the team that night. Anyway again, excellent parody, Jeff.

What Spaff said. I wish I had a nickel for every time Billy Joel had sung this to me.
(ABCfinals) I would like to take this opportunity to share my secret to dealing with rejection from women: Don't ask. :-)
Already commented, so I refuse to do so again... except to congratulate you on your Silver Medal for the ABC2004 competition.
