锘� know I'm just a workin' man
Sometimes I need a helpin'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 lookin' dim

And I'm runnin'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, strokin' my ego

But when it comes to my woman

I'm a hero

Don't know technology

I'm 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, strokin' my ego

But when it comes to my woman

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 Lord 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, strokin' my ego

But when it comes to my woman

I may not be a soldier, in the army

And I don't have money, fortune or fame

And there's nobody out there, strokin' 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 I'm a hero
