Lyrics

’m No Hero


I was tongue-tied by your beauty, so how could I impress you?
I wished for mortal danger so I could come to your rescue
A house on fire, maybe, or a dragon I could slay
Anything so I wouldn’t have to think of what to say

And after I saved your life, you’d be so very grateful
Our eyes would meet in a special way, and those looks would seem so fateful
You’d see how noble and brave I am, and you couldn’t help but fall
All this would happen without me saying much at all

You’d throw your arms around my neck, and smother me with kisses too
But after all, I only did what any decent person would do
And though I’d blush like crazy, and my heart would pound and throb
I’d gruffly say: ‘I’m no hero, ma’am - I was just doing my job’

But in your warm and charming way, you gently drew me out
My tongue began to loosen up, and the ice began to melt
Oh what a lovely time we had, and I’m filled with gratitude
There wasn’t any mortal danger, ‘cause it would have ruined the mood

So throw your arms around my neck, and smother me with kisses too
Though after all, I only did what any decent person would do
And then I’ll blush like crazy, and my heart will pound and throb
I’ll gruffly say: ‘I’m no hero, ma’am - I was just doing my job’
