[Intro] / x3 / [Verse 1] Well I see you in the morning Putting on your pretty clothes    And I watch you do your makeup Like they do in all those fashion shows       Then you turn to me so that I can see If you put your self together right Then you go away and you’re gone all day      Ebmaj7                          Edim7 But I know you’re coming home tonight       And when you’re home darling all you’ve got to be is you When in Rome do as the Romans do [Interlude]    /  x3 / [Verse 2] Well it’s alright if you’re tired   when your day is done      You can see when you look at me you’re not the only one          It’s a cold cruel world for a working girl But you can’t let them see you cry It’s a fact of life now a man and wife      Ebmaj7                   Edim7 Work full time to just get by     When we’re home   all it’s gonna be is me and you When in Rome do as the Romans do [Interlude] Asus     [Bridge] I’ve done some strange things never thought I’d do before      But if the strain brings happiness more or less... [Verse 3] Then I don’t mind masquerading    with all those other fools              I don’t mind the games I’m playing ’cause I’ve learned the rules     And when times are tough I got just enough If you’re standing right by my side Darling more and more I get hungry for All the ways you keep me satisfied               F              Ebmaj7                      Edim7 On our own there ain’t nothing that we can’t get thru When in Rome do as the Romans do [Interlude]   / x2 [Sax Solo] Asus  A  Dm Asus  A  Cm9  Faug [Verse 4] So   I don’t mind masquerading    with all those other fools              I don’t mind the games I’m playing ’cause I’ve learned the rules It doesn’t matter when we’re home all alone          Emaj7                  Edim7 All we’ve got to be is me and you    On our own there ain’t nothing that we can’t get thru When in Rome do as the Romans do [Interlude]   / x2 [Outro] Swing that hammer and break that stone       (Like the Romans do)       Push those buttons and answer that phone     (Like the Romans do)       Coffee in the morning and martinis at night      (Like the Romans do)       Everybody’s working up a big appetite       (Like the Romans do)       When in Rome do like the Romans do (Like the Romans do)       When in Rome do like the Romans do (Like the Romans do)       When in Rome do like the Romans do (Like the Romans do)

La chanson évoque la relation entre deux personnes qui s'aiment et qui s'acceptent telles qu'elles sont, malgré les défis de la vie quotidienne. Elle parle des moments simples passés ensemble, loin des contraintes du monde extérieur. L'idée principale est de rester fidèle à soi-même tout en s'adaptant aux circonstances — une sorte de mantra du quotidien où l'on trouve du confort dans la présence de l'autre, même face aux épreuves. Le contexte semble être celui d'une vie moderne, où chacun doit jongler entre travail et obligations, mais où les instants passés à la maison deviennent précieux. C'est une célébration de l'amour et de la complicité qui rappelle l'importance de la connexion humaine, même dans un monde impitoyable.
