When In Rome

Well I see you in the morning

Putting on your pretty clothes

And I watch you do your makeup

Like they do in all those fashion shows

Then you turn to me so that I can see

If you put your self together right

Then you go away and you're gone all day

But I know you're coming home tonight

And when you're home, darling all you've got to be is you

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do

Well it's alright if you're tired when your day is done

You can see when you look at me, you're not the only one

It's a cold, cruel world for a working girl

But you can't let them see you cry

It's a fact of life, now a man and wife

Work full time to just get by

And when we're home all it's gonna be is me and you

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do

I've done some strange things I never thought I'd do before

But if the strain brings happiness, more or less...

Then I don't mind masquerading with all those other fools

I don't mind the games I'm playing,

Because I've learned the rules

And when times are tough, I've got just enough

If you're standing right by my side

Darling more and more I get hungry for

All the ways you keep me satisfied

On our own there ain't nothing that we can't get thru

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do

Then I don't mind masquerading with all those other fools

I don't mind the games I'm playing,

Because I've learned the rules

It doesn't matter when we're home, all alone

All we've got to be is me and you

On our own there ain't nothing that we can't get thru

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do
