[]Dear []friend, it's been a []long, long while
I've been []meaning to write you but it was []never my style
But []what is these []days []now I'm a []family man.
[].....[].....[]
[]Do you blow []sincere kisses to []mistresses []Secrets on []afternoons?
Do you []wear your disguises, []feign the surp[]rises,
At the []questions she []asks when she []dares to accuse?
Does your []past lie under a []dustsheet,[]
In the []corner of a []musty []garage?
[]That's where I []keep mine now, []now I'm a []family man.
[].....[].....[]
[]Are your horses still []running when the bookies shops []close?
[]Is the band still tog[]ether, did you ever get on the road?[]
[]We chased the same women, we []drank the same []beer.
We []came as a pair[] when we []ran around here
How []are you these []days, []now you're a []family man?
