Verse 1:
F5F5F5F5
She had sulky smile, She took her standard pose, As she presented herself
F5F5F5F5
She had sultry eyes, She made it perfectly plain, That she was his for a price
Chorus:
DbDb
But he said "leave me alone, I'm a family man
Eb5Eb5F5
And my bark is much worse than my bite
DbDb
Please just leave me alone, I'm a family man
Eb5Eb5F5
But if you push me too far I just might"
