Songfacts:
Not at all typical of Cooper, this is a very romantic soft rock song by the Grandfather of Goth. It is every man’s love song to his significant other – celebrating the everyday pleasures of two people sharing their lives together.
This love ballad was a significant departure from Cooper’s usual dark-themed rockers. It was the last in a trilogy of ballads Cooper recorded, following Only Women Bleed and I Never Cry. He has described this genre as “heavy metal housewife rock.”

Lyrics:
When I get home from work
I want to wrap myself around you
I want to take you and squeeze you
‘Til the passion starts to rise
I want to take you to heaven
That would make my day complete
But you and me ain’t no movie stars
What we are is what we are
