Andrew Osenga - The Man of the House lyrics

You say that I'm a hard man I've become so hard to know Well, I just like things quiet I just like things slow When Dad left us with nothing Well I swore that I'd make good I didn't hurt anybody You were just so sure I would Mother, I haven't called Cause I know what you'd say And you won't change my mind So don't waste another night Don't waste your tears on mine Mother, I'll be fine You should have seen how I first saw her Should have seen the way we danced The bar became a ballroom The haze became a trance She kissed me like a serpent And squeezed til my heart broke open wide She told me that she loved me Guess that's when she crawled inside Mother, I haven't called Cause I know what you'd say And you won't change my mind So don't waste another night Don't waste your tears on mine Mother, I'll be fine Cause a boy without a father Has mighty shoes to fill Becomes a husband to his Mother And Daddy to himself So as we talked about our futures And the things we'd never had We said our kids would have a safe home And a loving Mom and Dad So now I'm on my way to Memphis Cause she's got my baby girl And I meant it when I said it "No child of mine is going to live like us" Mother, I haven't called Cause I know what you'd say And you won't change my mind So don't waste another night Don't waste your tears on mine Mother, I'll be fine
