A King And A Hero

I WAS USING MAMA'S ROLLING PIN
WHEN I HAD THE THOUGHT
THAT THE WHEEL WAS NOT
INVENTED BY A MAN.
CAN’T YOU LAUGH ABOUT THAT KIND OF THING?
HAVE SOME APPLE PIE.
WHY’D YOU ASK ME WHY.
IT'S JUST THE WAY I AM.

(CHORUS)
HONEY, DON’T BE SO GRAND.
LISTEN, HERE’S WHERE I STAND:
I CAN SING. I CAN BAKE GOOD PIES.
BUT I CAN’T FIND LOVE.
IF YOU BRING ME LOVE,
YOU'LL BE A KING AND A HERO IN MY EYES.

WAS IT ONLY SEVEN WEEKS AGO
YOU STOLE A KISS FROM ME?
AND I THOUGHT, "STAY FREE.
I'M HAPPY ON MY OWN."
THEN I LET YOU THROUGH MY KITCHEN DOOR
FOR HOMEMADE APPLE PIE,
OH. YOU SAW THAT I
WAS HUNGRY FOR A HOME?

HONEY, DON’T BE SO GRAND.
LISTEN, HERE’S WHERE I STAND:
I CAN SING. I CAN BAKE GOOD PIES.
BUT I CAN’T FIND HOME.
IF YOU SHOW ME HOME,
YOU'LL BE A KING AND A HERO IN MY EYES.

COULD YOU LOVE ME AS I AM:
PROUD AND PLAIN-SPOKEN?
OR IS MY HEART LIKE PIECRUST--
MADE TO BE BROKEN?
AND IT HURTS TO ASK
BUT I NEED TO KNOW.

HONEY, DON’T BE SO GRAND.
LISTEN, HERE’S WHERE I STAND:
I CAN SING. I CAN BAKE GOOD PIES.
BUT I CAN’T FIND LOVE.
IF YOU BRING ME LOVE,
YOU'LL BE A KING AND A HERO IN MY EYES.
