Hero

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

Not as smart as I wanna be

It's alright



But I know the recipe

And the terminology, for love

Sure enough



Maybe she'd be better off

With an educated man

But she's my inspiration

And I'm doin' the best I can



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, sweet thang, yeah

I'm a hero



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 what would I do

I might go crazy



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 may not be a soldier in the army

I don't have money, fortune or fame

There's nobody out there, stroking my ego

But when it comes to my woman

I'm a hero

I'm a hero



She thinks I'm alright, oh lord

She believes that I'm a hero
