[Verse 1]
She had a sulky smile
She took a standard pose as she presented herself
She had sultry eyes
She made it perfectly plain that she was his for a price

[Chorus]
But he said, “Leave me alone, I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite!”
He said, “Leave me alone, I'm a family man
If you push me too far, I just might”

[Verse 2]
She wore hurt surprise
As she re-checked her make-up to protect herself
She showed less than pride
She made it totally clear as she was his for a price

[Chorus]
But he said, “Leave me alone, I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite!
Please just leave me alone, I'm a family man
If you push me too far, I just might”

[Verse 3]
She gave him her look
That would have worked on any other man in sight
He could not mistake
She wanted to go back with him and spend his night
[Chorus]
But he said, “Leave me alone, I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite!
Please just leave me alone, I'm a family man
If you push me too far, I just might”

[Verse 4]
She turned, tossed her head and then
She started to make her final exit line
She showed real disdain
As if explaining again, she could be his for a price

[Chorus]
But he said, “Leave me alone, I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite!”
He said, “Leave me alone, I'm a family man
If you push me too far, I just might”
