Lyrics Karyn White

Family Man

Yesterday you told me that you love me

And you love me for good

You said that we'll get married

When the time was right and I understood

But how long were you planning

To deceive me?

Love me and then leave me

How long will you pull on with my love over my eyes?

Wish you had told me

You were a family man

'Cause if you had told me

I would have made other plans

It wasn't very long ago

You promised me that we'd go away

Told me to be patient, you say

Good things come to those who can wait

How long will you play with my emotions

Treat me like a token?

How long must you play your silly games

With my heart?

I wish you had told me

You were a family man

'Cause if you had told me

I would have made other plans

I wish you had told me

You were a family man

'Cause if you had told me

I would have made other plans

Please, I've had enough of this mess

Baby, oh, how long?

How long?

How long will you play with my emotions

Treat my like a token?

How long must you play your silly games

With my heart?

I wish you had told me

You were a family man

'Cause if you had told me

I would have made other plans

I wish you had told me

You were a family man

'Cause if you had told me

I would have made other plans

I know it just ain't right

To your feelings and your wife

And all you lost is an alibi

For mixing up my life

How do I love you like I do, I do

I have perfect faith in you

How could I be so blunt

That you play me, play me for a fool

I wish you hadn't told me

You were a family man

'Cause if you would had told me

I would have made other plans
