  • I know that you love me
    Though 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

    It's not always easy
    Being a family man
    Baby, don't leave me
    I'm just doing what I can
    To get by

    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

    It's not always easy
    Being a family man
    Baby, don't leave me
    I'm just doing what I can
    To get by

    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

    It's not always easy
    Being a family man
    Baby, don't leave me
    I'm just doing what I can
    To get by

    I know 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 Writer/s: Benjamin James Henry Jack Garrett, Lily Rose Beatrice Allen
