"Hero" lyrics - KEB' MO'

I know I'm just a working man
Sometimes I need a helping hand
It's alright
They hardly ever notice me
They never raise my salary
It's alright
Maybe I don't seem so bright
And my future's looking dim
And I'm running in a rat race
That I'm never gonna win
I may not be a soldier in the army
And I don't have money, fortune or fame
And there's nobody out there, stroking my ego
But when it comes to my woman
I'm a hero
Don't know technology
Not as smart as I wanna be
It's alright
But I know the recipe
And the terminology, for love
Sure enough
Maybe she'd be better off
With an educated man
But she's my inspiration
And I'm doin' the best I can
I may not be a soldier in the army
And I don't have money, fortune or fame
And there's nobody out there, stroking my ego
But when it comes to my woman, sweet thang, yeah
I'm a hero
My baby loves me and she knows what I need
And when she holds me, I feel like a king
And if I ever lose her, oh what would I do
I might go crazy
I may not be a soldier in the army
And I don't have money, fortune or fame
And there's nobody out there, stroking my ego
But when it comes to my woman
I may not be a soldier in the army
I don't have money, fortune or fame
There's nobody out there, stroking my ego
But when it comes to my woman
I'm a hero
I'm a hero
She thinks I'm alright, oh lord
She believes that I'm a hero
