Brother Louie
The Stories - Featuring Ian Lloyd Lyrics

She was black as the night
She had dark skin, like the night sky

Louie was whiter than white
Louie had very fair skin, even fairer than white

Danger, danger when you taste brown suga'
There's a risk of falling in love when you taste the sweetness of someone with brown skin

Louie fell in love overnight
Louie quickly fell in love with someone he met

Nothing bad, it was good
Their relationship was positive and had no issues

Louie had the best girl he could
Louie was happy with his partner and saw them as the best choice for him

When he took 'er home to meet her mama and papa
Louie introduced his partner to his own parents

Louie knew just where he stood
Louie was confident in his relationship and knew where he stood with his partner

There he stood in the night
Louie was standing outside at night

Knowing what's wrong from what's right
Louie understood the difference between good and bad

He took her home to meet his mama and papa
Louie introduced his partner to his own parents

Man, he had a terrible fight
Louie and someone in his family had a serious argument

Louie nearly caused a scene
Louie almost caused major disruption or disturbance

Wishin' it was a dream
Louie wanted to wake up from the unpleasant situation he was experiencing

Ain't no diff'rence between black and white
There is no inherent difference between people with dark skin and those with light skin

Brothers, you know what I mean
Fellow African American men, you can relate to what I'm saying
