Daryl Hall & John Oates - Family Man lyrics

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

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 gave him her look

It would've worked

On any other man around

He looked her up and down

She knew he couldn't decide

If he should hold his ground

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 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

He said (leave me alone)

I'm a (family man)

And I don't think I want tonight

And he said (leave me alone)

I'm a family man

But if you push me too far

I just might

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

He said (leave me alone)

I'm a family man

Leave me alone

'Cause I've got to go home
