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 chain-less 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 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
