Family of Man


I don't know
What I'm gonna do
I feel as wanted
As an old brown shoe

But I'm doing everything
To try to understand
Just like the waves keep rolling
To the shore

I keep on knocking on this
Bolted door
If I said I was afraid
Would you try to hold my hand?

'Cause baby's got a thing
For the family of man

I don't know what I thought I'd find
I didn't know that you were so inclined
But now the road's a little steep
What with the company you keep

So I threw a hammer in the gears
Now you're calling out the bombardiers
And soon those bombs are gonna land
Guess I could use a helping hand

'Cause baby's got a thing
For the family of man

When I see her smiling sweetly
From the motorcade
It's like I'm buying cotton candy
And a lemonade
For the whole parade!

now I know that it was all in fun
When you said I was the only one
But I guess if I were you
I would get it while I can

'Cause baby's got a thing
For the family of man
