Family Affair Lyrics

Finally met her parents on a Saturday night
they gave me the eye wouldn't let me out of their sight
they didn't like the looks of me right away
they told me to go,
so I decided to stay

eyes were brown
and my hair was blue
of course they had a problem with my tattoos
I can't please everybody all the time
so right now all I wanted to was make you mine

your parents hate, the way I dress
your parents say my life is a mess
your parents hate what they don't understand
All I want to do tonight is be your man

Her dad asked what I did
I said I play in a band
He said he hated devil music and he wasn't a fan
Musicians can't be trusted and your job is a joke
I don't want my daughter spending her life broke
After that I didn't really know what to say
so I said I think I'll date your daughter anyway

I can't please everybody all the time
so right now all I wanted to was make you mine

your parents hate, the way I dress
your parents say my life is a mess
your parents hate what they don't understand
All I want to do tonight is be your man

Now I think is time to make my way to the door
But for sure tomorrow night, that I'll be back for more

I can't please everybody all the time
so right now all I wanted to was make you mine

Your dad can't stand me
and your mom's in shock
your brother wants to kill me
and your sister won't talk
the whole dinner table talking about my hair
But I don't really care
It's just a family affair

your parents hate, the way I dress
your parents say my life is a mess
your parents hate what they don't understand
All I want to do tonight is be your man

Here are the correct lyrics for this song:

Finally met her parents on a Saturday night they gave me the eye wouldn't let me out of their sight they didn't like the looks of me right away they told me to go so I decided to stay

my eyes were brown and my hair was blue of course they had a problem with my tattoos I can't please everybody all the time so right now all I wanna do is make you mine

your parents hate the way I dress your parents say my life is a mess your parents hate what they don't understand All I wanna to do tonight is be your man

Her dad asked what I did, I said I play in a band He said he hated devil music and he wasn't a fan Musicians can't be trusted and your job is a joke I don't want my daughter spending her life broke After that I didn't really know what to say so I said I think I'll date your daughter anyway

I can't please everybody all the time so right now all I wanna do is make you mine

your parents hate the way I dress your parents say my life’s a mess your parents hate what they don't understand All I wanna to do tonight is be your man

Had to go drop the kids off at the pool Cause lately I’ve been having problems with my stool Came down the stairs that’s when I tripped and fell Felt like I was on my way straight to hell

Now I think is time to make my way to the door But be sure tomorrow night, that I'll be back for more

I can't please everybody all the time so right now all I wanna do is make you mine

Your dad can't stand me and your mom's in shock your brother wants to kill me and your sister won't talk I got the whole dinner table talking about my hair But I don't really care It's just a family affair

your parents hate the way I dress your parents say my life’s a mess your parents hate what they don't understand All I wanna to do tonight is be your man All I wanna to do tonight is be your man
