I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
 That's fine, I know them all pretty well
 But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
 Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
 The kids are alright

 Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
 Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
 And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
 Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
 The kids are alright

 I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
 I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her

 I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
 That's fine, I know them all pretty well
 But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
 Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
 The kids are alright

 Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
 Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
 And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
 Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
 The kids are alright
