I know I'm just a working man
Sometimes I need a helping hand
It's alright
They hardly ever notice me
They never raise my salary
It's alright
Maybe I don't seem so bright
And my future's looking dim
And I'm running in a rat race
That I'm never gonna win
I may not be a soldier in the army
And I don't have money, fortune or fame
And there's nobody out there stroking my ego
But when it comes to my woman
I'm a hero
Don't know technology
I'm not as smart as I want to be
It's alright
But I know the recipe and the terminology for love
Maybe she'd be better off with an educated man
But she's my inspiration
And I'm doing the best I can
(repeat chorus)
My baby loves me
And she knows what I need
And when she holds me
I feel like a king
And if I ever lose her
Oh Lord what would I do
I might go crazy
(repeat chorus)
