Sit down dear we gotta talk You're acting like a kid We don't want to hear about The things you never did You could've 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've 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 'Cause she's lonely man Don't. 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 could've lead You'll f*ck yourself to clear your head You'll close your door and go to bed You'll try to sleep without a dream 'Cause that's where she finds you Yeah, that's where she finds you Don't leave yourself alone for too many days 'Cause 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 Dear we better get a drink in you Before you start to bore us "Don't forget the alcohol ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby"
