(tony martin / mark nesler)
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
