  sit down dear we gotta talk
  your acting like a kid
  we don't wanna hear about
  the things you never did
  
  you could been a legend
  but you became a father
  that's what you are today
  that's what you are today
  
  spending all your time
  somewhere inside your head
  haunted by the important
  life you could a lead
  
  but your kisses aren't enough
  to keep your kids in line
  so you better straighten out yourself
  and give your baby time
  cause if you don't give her what she needs
  she'll get it where she can
  she's lonely man
  
  don't leave yourself alone for too many days
  sooner than you know your gonna start slipping
  
  you'll end up talking to the ghost
  of your wife as if you knew her
  your eyes will put her everywhere
  
  and spending all your time
  somewhere inside your head
  haunted by the important
  life you coulda lead
  
  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
  that's where she finds you
  that's where she finds you
  
  don't leave yourself alone for too many days
  sooner than you know your gonna start slipping
  
  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
