lyrics

Every time I see a picture of you I wonder
Who’s that child, and then I discover the clue
And watch you do the foolish things that you do
The same mistakes I made too
Discovered shining and new
I can’t believe that it’s

So, let yourself go
As long as you know
You’ll always be one of the family
Hey, take it away
Live for the day
You know that it runs in the family

You and I could get on perfectly well if only
You dropped that guy, you know he’s the boyfriend from hell
And show me how, if your ancient parents allow
Do you live independently now
You always used to be proud
But come home sooner than

Then, never again
Even your friends
Say that it runs in the family
Now, sort yourself out
The louder you shout
The more it’s undoubtedly something to

Hear what’s new, the one that you hated at school
They say that he’s mad about you
If only he knew what we knew
An uncool fool

Is that this as bad as it gets?
Tell me honestly
God no, you haven’t seen anything yet because

Hell, do it yourself
It’s good for your health
My relative wealth is the proof of it

Then do it again
Tell yourself when
It’s only a ten to one chance you’ve been

Had, happy or sad
You can’t be all bad
I know you’re as mad as the wind and the

See what happened to me
What else could it be?
So make yourself one of the family now
