Daryl Hall & John Oates
Family Man (Rock Mix)
[Intro]
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
If you push me too far I just might"

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
If you push me too far I just might"

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
But he said: "(Leave me alone), I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite"
'Cause just (Leave me alone), I'm a family man
If you push me too far I just might, yeah

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
And 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
If you push me too far I just might"

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone, family man)
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone) I'm a (Family man)
And I don't think I want it tonight
(Leave me alone, family man)
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone, family man)

[Outro]
'Cause I got to go, please
(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
If you push me too far I just might"
(Leave me alone) I'm a (Family man)
And I don't think I want it tonight
And he said: "(Leave me alone), I'm a family man
If you push me too far I just might"
And 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"
Leave me alone, 'cause I got to go, please
(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
If you push me too far I just might"
(Leave me alone, family man)
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone, family man)
(Leave me alone)
