Ooh, ooh

Well, you used to be a rogue and that′s no lie

Couldn't care if you lived, couldn′t care if you died

Gettin' high, gettin' drunk out with your gang

Man, you were so bad they should′ve made you hang

Used to be a swinger and that′s no lie

You had umpteen women all at the same time

Never had no money but you lived like the rich

Poncing all your money off of some poor b***h

But now oh, whoa oh oh

Now you're tryin′ to be a family man

I said oh, whoa oh oh

Now you're tryin′ to be a family man

Listen

You used to be a rogue and that's no lie

Couldn′t care if you lived, couldn't care if you died

Then you met a girl by the name of Sue

She looked just like your mother, she was badder than you

Oh oh oh oh oh

Nine months later you were totally changed

I saw you go to the church to be born again

And now oh, whoa oh oh

Now you're tryin′ to be a family man

I said oh, whoa oh oh

Now you′re tryin' to be a family man

There′s no way out, there's no turning back

So keep it in the family

I said oh, whoa oh oh

Now you′re tryin' to be a family man

I said oh, whoa oh oh

Now you′re tryin' to be a family man

I said whoa, whoa oh oh

Now you're tryin′ to be a family man

Whoa oh oh

Now you′re tryin' to be a family man

Do you know what I mean?

Oh oh

Tryin′ to be a family man

Oh oh

Tryin' to be a family man

Tr-tr-tr-tryin′ to be, baby, whoa baby

Tryin' to be a family man

Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean, now

Oh oh oh

Now you′re tryin' to be a family man

Whoa baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tryin' to be a family man

Alright now, said now whoa whoa, whoa whoa

Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down

Tryin′ to be a family man

I said oh, whoa oh
