Riff: Lily Allen – “Family Man”

Jun 11, 2018

It’s not always easy/Being a family man/Baby, don’t leave me/I’m just doing what I can

from Family Man lyrics by Lily Allen

Making the transition from pop star to family woman is not easy and she’s trying to let her lover know that she’s trying. The desire to live a settled life is in her, but with so much going on in her career it’s hard for her to think beyond what is in front of her. It’s a monumental struggle and she’s hoping that they can overcome it, but first she needs some alone time so that she can reflect.
