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
