When In Rome

[Verse 1]

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 yourself together right

Then you go away and you're gone all day

But I know you're coming home tonight

[Chorus]

And when you're home

Darling all you've got to be is you

But when in Rome do as the Romans do

[Verse 2]

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, how a man and wife

Work full time to just get by

[Chorus]

And when we're home

All it's gonna be is me and you

But when in Rome do as the Romans do

[Bridge]

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

But if the strain brings happiness

More or less

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Out on our own

There ain't nothing we can't get through

But when in Rome do as the Romans do

[Verse 4]

So 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

[Chorus]

Out on our own

There ain't nothing that we can't get through

But when in Rome do as the Romans do

[Verse 5]

Swing that hammer and break that stone

(Do like the Romans do)

Push those buttons and answer that phone

(Do like the Romans do)

Coffee in the morning and martinis at night

(Do like the Romans do)

Everybody's working up a big appetite

(Do like the Romans do)

When in Rome do like the Romans do

(Do like the Romans do)

When in Rome do like the Romans do

(Do like the Romans do)

When in Rome do like the Romans do

(Do like the Romans do)
