You don't have to say you missed me

any time while I was gone.

No, I didn't get your letter

and that's what I was counting on.

Please don't ever say you're sorry

for the way you carry on.

Just Keep It In The Family

then you can't go too far wrong.

Now it's four o'clock on a Sunday morning

when you just come falling in.

I don't ask you any questions

I don't even wanna know where you been.

Please don't take the time to tell me

what it is that's going on.

Just Keep It In The Family

then you can't go too far wrong.

How I wish there'd come an hour

with you here by my side.

You could look me in the eyes and whisper

anything you've had to hide.

I ain't selfish nor a dreamer

and I don't have to be the only one.

Just Keep It In The Family

when you go out and have your fun.
