Joel Billy - When In Rome lyrics

Well I see you in the morning<br>Putting on your pretty clothes<br>And I watch you do your make-up<br>Like they do in all those fashion shows<br>Then you turn to me so that I can see<br>If you put yourself together right<br>Then you go away and you're gone all day<br>But I know you're coming home tonight<br>And when you're home, darling all you've got to be is you<br>But when in rome, do as the romans do<br><br>Well it's alright if you're tired when your day is done<br>You can see when you look at me, you're not the only one<br>It's a cold, cruel world for a working girl<br>But you can't let them see you cry<br>It's a fact of life, now man and wife<br>Work full time to just get by<br>And when we're home all it's gonna be is me and you<br>But when in rome, do as the romans do<br><br>I've done some strange things I never thought I'd do before<br>But if the strain brings happiness, more or less...<br>More or less...<br><br>Then I don't mind masquerading with all those other fools<br>I don't mind the games I'm playing,<br>Because I've learned the rules<br>And when times are tough, I've got just enough<br>If you're standing right by my side<br>Darling more and more I get hungry for<br>All the ways you keep me satisfied<br>On our own there ain't nothing that we can't get thru<br>But when in rome, do as the romans do<br><br>Then I don't mind masquerading with all those other fools<br>I don't mind the games I'm playing,<br>Because I've learned the rules<br>It doesn't matter when we're home, all alone<br>All we've got to be is me and you<br>On our own there ain't nothing that we can't get thru<br>But when in rome, do as the romans do<br><br>Swing that hammer and break that stone<br>Push those buttons and answer that phone<br>Coffee in the morning and martinis at night<br>Everybody's working up a big appetite<br>Do as the romans do...
