the good of the family - Spearmint

I can’t help it, I am nervous

As I pick up the phone

It’s Christmas time and I should ring you

But what will I say?

You’re my father, you live in the same town

I hardly know you at all

You’re my father, we live in the same town

We speak four times a year

I’ll go through the motions again

I do it for the good of the family

Is it only guilt that makes me even call?

I do it all for the good of the family

Someone asked me where you were born

And I did not know

You asked me once if I was married

Because you did not know

I’ll go through the motions again

I do it for the good of the family

Is it only guilt that makes me ring even call?

I do it all for the good of the family
