When in Rome
Well, I see you in the morningPutting on your pretty clothesThen I watch you do your makeupLike they do in all those fashion showsThen you turn to me so that I can seeIf you put yourself together rightThen you go away and you're gone all dayBut I know you're coming home tonightAnd when you're home, darling all you've got to be is youBut when in Rome, do as the Romans do
Well, it's all right if you're tired when your day is doneYou can see when you look at me you're not the only oneIt's a cold, cruel world for a working girlBut you can't let them see you cryIt's a fact of life, now a man and wifeWork full time to just get byAnd when we're home all it's gonna be is me and youBut when in Rome, do as the Romans do
I've done some strange thingsI never thought I'd do beforeBut if the strain brings happiness, more or less
Then I don't mind masquerading with all those other foolsI don't mind the games I'm playingBecause I've learned the rulesAnd when times are tough, I've got just enoughIf you're standing right by my sideDarling, more and more I get hungry forAll the ways you keep me satisfiedOn our own there ain't nothing that we can't get thruBut when in Rome, do as the Romans do
Then I don't mind masquerading with all those other foolsI don't mind the games I'm playingBecause I've learned the rulesIt doesn't matter when we're home, all aloneAll we've got to be is me and youOn our own there ain't nothing that we can't get thruBut when in Rome, do as the Romans do
Swing that hammer and break that stonePush those buttons and answer that phoneCoffee in the morning and martinis at nightEverybody's working up a big appetite...Do as the Romasn do...
