Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know that you love me
Thought I'm young and stupid
I am wild and ruthless
You're better off without me
I am more than selfish
I am tired, I'm helpless
If I had the time of day
I might give all my days to you
[Verse 2]
It's not always easy
Being a family man
Baby, don't leave me
I'm just doing what I can to get by
[Verse 3]
I've come to the land of the free
I've let loose, I'm faithless
I am lost and shameless
But don't go forgetting me
I don't like most people
But I'm scared not evil
Every day has its challenges
I just never know what day it is
[Verse 4]
It's not always easy
Being a family man
Baby, don't leave me
I'm just doing what I can to get by
[Verse 5]
I hope we're gonna pull through
But, darling, I need my time away from you
I hope we're gonna make it through
But, darling, I need my time away from you
[Verse 6]
It's not always easy
Being a family man
Baby, don't leave me
I'm just doing what I can to get by
[Verse 7]
I know we're gonna pull through
But, darling, I need my time away from you
I hope we're gonna pull through
But, darling, I need my time away from you
