Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sit down dear we gotta talk
You're acting like a kid
We don't wanna hear
About the things you never did
You could've been a legend
But you became a father
That's what you are today
That's what you are today
[Verse 2]
Spending all your time
Somewhere inside your head
Haunted by important
Life you could've lead
But your kisses aren't enough
To keep your kids in line
So you better straighten out yourself
And give your baby time
[Verse 3]
'Cause if you don't give her
What she needs
She'll get it where she can
'Cause she's lonely
Man
[Verse 4]
Don't
Don't leave yourself alone
For too many days
Sooner than you know
You're gonna start
Slipping
[Verse 5]
You'll end up talking to the ghost
Of you wife as if you knew her
Your eyes
Will put here everywhere
And spending all your time
Somewhere inside your head
Haunted by important
Life you could've lead
[Verse 6]
You'll fuck yourself to clear your head
You'll close your door and go to bed
You'll try to sleep without a dream
'Cause that's where she finds you
Yeah that's where she finds you
[Verse 7]
Don't leave yourself alone
For too many days
Sooner than you know
You're gonna start
Slipping
[Verse 8]
Dear we better
Get a drink in you
Before you start to bore us
Dear we better
Get a drink in you
Before you start to bore us
Dear we better
Get a drink in you
Before you start to bore us
[Verse 9]
DEAR WE BETTER GET A DRINK IN YOU
BEFORE YOU START TO BORE US
[Verse 10]
Don't forget
The alcohol
Oooh baby
Oooh baby
Oooh baby
Oooh baby
Oooh baby
