When I get home from work, I want to wrap myself around you. I want to take you and squeeze you till the passion starts to rise. I want to take you to heaven. That would make my day complete. But you and me ain't no movie stars. What we are is what we are. We share a bed, some lovin', and TV, yeah. And that's enough for a workin' man. What I am is what I am. And I tell you, babe, well that's enough for me. Sometimes when you're asleep and I'm just starin' at the ceiling, I want to reach out and touch you, but you just go on dreamin'. If I could take you to heaven, that would make my day complete. But you and me ain't no movie stars. What we are is what we are. We share a bed, some lovin', and TV, yeah. That's enough for a workin' man. What I am is what I am. And I tell you, sweetheart that's just enough for me. You and me ain't no super stars. What we are is what we are. We share a bed, some popcorn, and TV, yeah. And that's enough for a workin' man. What I am is what I am. And I tell you, babe, you're just enough for me. When I get home from work, I want to wrap myself around you. I like to hold you squeeze you till the passion starts to rise. I want to take you to heaven. That would make my day complete. You and me ain't no movie stars. What we are is what we are. We share a bed, of lovin', and TV, yeah. And that's enough for a workin' man. What I am well that's what I am. I tell you, baby, that's just enough for me.
