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 daddies and heroes ain’t supposed to cry
The morning always seems to catch us laughing
Got the baby in the bed to feed, keep safe and warm
And I thank the lord above for all the good times I’ve been having
Wrapped up in my woman’s loving arms
Cause she’s a friend, she’s a lover, she’s a woman and she’s a wife
She’s the answered prayer a 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 pace and I need a place to hide
And I’m home to my own little world
I take her in my arms and hold her
I soon forget there’s another world outside
She’s a friend, she’s a lover, she’s a woman, she’s a wife
She’s the answered prayer a 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
She’s a friend, she’s a lover, she’s a woman, she’s a wife
She’s the answered prayer a lonely man dreams of
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
