I’m 49 years old
Next year’s the big five-oh
Got to admit for all this time
I ain’t got much to show

I’m livin’ in the basement
Honey the basement of my house
Cause I can’t afford the mortgage unless I
Rent the upstairs out

And I know, honey I don’t look good on paper
But baby you should see me live

I believe in respectin’
The woman that I love
I believe in sharin’ household chores
And talkin’ problems out

I may not be a rich man
But honey I’ll always treat you right
Get up every mornin’ with ya
Be home every night

And I know, honey I don’t sound good on the record
But baby you should see me live

I can fix a leaky faucet
I can sing the kids to sleep
I can listen while you prattle on
And rub your weary feet

I can dance you up and down all night
And carry you to bed
I believe in love through thick and thin
And meanin’ what I’ve said

And I know, honey I don’t look good on paper
But baby you should see me live
