It was the shortest love affair that existed
I wouldn´t have botthered if she hadn´t insisted
But saying no´s never been a strong line of mine
Be it to a lady or a bottle of wine
So we danced for an hour

And we drank for another
Then she introduced me to her younger brother
And I looked on him as a brother of mine
But I wasn´t quite sure how he looked on her

I wish I´d gone straight home to bed
I´d be watching the late film instead
Of laughing and lying and dying here
And fearing that something be said
Oh open the floor
I just can´t take any more

She told me he was her brother
Now I find out that he´s her lover
The light in his eyes that I´d noticed before
When I looked in the mirror on my bedroom door
It wasn´t the way that you looked at your sister
Just then I noticed he´d started to kiss her

Well I may have been slow to accept all he said
Soon felt myself turn from milk white to red
And I´d have done something but this you must see
Any way I looked at him he looked six foot three

I wish I´d gone home to bed
I´d be watching the late film instead
Of laughing and lying and dying here
And fearing that something be said
Oh open the floor
I just can´t take any more

She told me he was her brother
Now I find out that he´s her lover
It was the shortest love affair that existed
I wouldn´t have bothered if she hadn´t insisted
But saying no´s never been a strong line of mine
Be it to a lady or a bottle of wine

Be it to a lady or a bottle of wine
Be it to a lady or a bottle of wine
