Billy Joel When In Rome Lyrics

When In Rome Lyrics

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
trun 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

And when you're home, darling all you've got to be is you

But
when in Rome, do as the Romans do



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, now man and wife

Work full time to
just get by

And when we're home all it's gonna be is me and you

But
when in Rome, do as the Romans do



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

But if the strain brings happiness, more or
less...

More or less...



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 tims 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

On our own there ain't nothing
we can't get thru

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do



Then I
don't mind masquerading with all those other fools

I don't mind the gmes
I'm playing,

Because I've learned the rules

It doesn't matter when
we're home, all alone

Al we've got to be is me and you

On our own there
ain't noghint that we can't get thru

But when in Rome, do as the Romans
do



Swing that hammer and break that stone

Push those buttons and
answer that phone

Coffee in the morning and martinis at
night

Everybody's working up a big appetite

Do as the Romans
do...
