F
She had sulky smile
               Dm
She took her standard pose
Dm
As she presented herself
F
She had sultry eyes
            Dm
She made it perfectly plain
Dm
That she was his for a price


[Chorus]
             Bb
But he said leave me alone, I'm a family man
C       Dm7                        C    Dm7
And my bark is much worse than my bite
         Bb
He said leave me alone, I'm a family man
    C      Dm7                     C    Dm7
But if you push me too far I just might

[Verse]
F
She wore hurt surprise
          Dm
As she rechecked her make-up to protect herself
F
Dropped her price and pride
             Dm
She made it totally clear
Dm
That she was his for a night


[Chorus]
             Bb
But he said leave me alone, I'm a family man
C       Dm7                        C    Dm7
And my bark is much worse than my bite
         Bb
He said leave me alone, I'm a family man
    C      Dm7                     C    Dm7
But if you push me too far I just might


[Verse]
F
She gave him her look
              Dm
It would have worked on any other man around
F
He looked her up and down
             Dm
She knew he couldn't decide
Dm
If he should hold his ground


[Chorus]
             Bb
But he said leave me alone, I'm a family man
C       Dm7                        C    Dm7
And my bark is much worse than my bite
         Bb
He said leave me alone, I'm a family man
    C      Dm7                     C    Dm7
But if you push me too far I just might

[Verse]
F
She turned, tossed her head
           Dm
Unlike her opening move
Dm
Her final exit line
    F
He waited much too long
            Dm
But by the time he got his courage up
Dm
She was gone


[Final Chorus]
                  Bb
Then he screamed leave me alone, I'm a family man
C       Dm7                        C    Dm7
And my bark is much worse than my bite
         Bb
He said leave me alone, I'm a family man
    C      Dm7                     C    Dm7
But if you push me too far I just might
         Bb
He said leave me alone, I'm a family man
C     Dm7                      C    Dm7
And I don't think I want it tonight
         Bb
He said leave me alone, I'm a family man
    C      Dm7                      C    Dm7
But if you push me too far, I just might
         Bb
He said leave me alone, I'm a family man
C      Dm7                         C    Dm7
And my bark is much worse than my bite

    C      Dm7                      C    Dm7
But if you push me too far, I just might
