Sometimes I lie awake and watch her sleeping
And I just want to bust and love drops fill my eyes
And I wonder what she'd think if she woke up and caught me weeping
'Cause daddy's heroes ain't suppose to cry

Oh, the morning always seemed to catch us laughing
We got the baby in the bed between us, safe and warm
And I thank the Lord above for all the good times I've been having
Wrapped up in my woman loving arms

'Cause she's a friend, she's a lover, she's a woman, she's a wife
She's the answered prayer every lonely man dreams of
She's a temptress, she's a lady, she's the mother of my baby
And I thank God I'm the lucky man she loves

And when the load gets heavy on my shoulders
And I can't keep the pace and I need a place to hide
I run home to my own little world, I take her in my arms and hold her
I soon forget there's another world outside

'Cause she's a friend, she's a lover, she's a woman, she's a wife
She's the answered prayer every lonely man dreams of
Oh, she's a temptress, she's a lady, she's the mother of my baby
And I thank God I'm the lucky man she loves

She's a friend, she's a lover, she's a woman, she's a wife
She's the answered prayer every lonely man dreams of
Hmm, she's a temptress, she's a lady, she's the mother of my sweet little baby
And I thank God I'm the lucky man she loves
