As the sun's coming up

She puts coffee on

Love in a cup

She makes it strong

She kisses my cheek

And I'm on my way

With her on my mind

I work hard all day

Just trying to keep

Her proud of me



It's hard to believe

A girl like her fell

For someone with grease

Under his fingernails

And like a tattoo

Soap can't wash off

It's easy to see

I'm nobody's boss

I'm just trying to keep her proud of me



Don't know what she sees

In me that she loves

Oh, but I'm gonna do my best

To see she always does



Don't know what she sees

In me that she loves

Oh, but I'm gonna do my best

To see she always does



Oh, even though

I can't give her much

But I think that she knows

I'm just trying to keep her proud of me



As the sun's coming up

She puts coffee on
