Family Man Lyrics

K. Cross/R. Fenn/M. Frye/M. Oldfield

M. Pert/M. Reilly



She had sulky smile

She took her standard pose as she presented herself

She had sultry eyes, she made it perfectly plain that she was his 

For a price



But he said "Leave me alone, I'm a family man

And my bark is much worse than my bite"

He said "Leave me alone, I'm a family man

But if you push me too far I just might"



She wore hurt surprise as she rechecked her make-up to protect herself

Dropped her price and pride she made it totally clear that she was his 

For a night



She gave him her look, it would have worked on any other man around

He looked her up and down, she knew he couldn't decide if he should 

Hold his ground



She turned, tossed her head unlike her opening move, her final exit line

He waited much too long but by the time he got his courage up she was gone

Then he screamed "Leave me alone, I'm a family man

And my bark is much worse than my bite"

He said "Leave me alone, I'm a family man

But if you push me too far, I just might"
