Ordinary Man

Woke up this morning just like every man does
walked to the bathroom just like every man does
made my bed just like every one must
nursed my head just like every one must

Spent the day playing Nina Simone
reorganized every record I own
I see my friends
we drink beer in a can
half-drunk they smile “it’ll be alright man”

Just like a king who’s losing his worth,
I’m like a snob that’s fallen to Earth.
Everyone thinks that I’m staying the same
are they secretly happy that I am in pain?

So you say it’s ordinary love,
that’s impossible to do
no such things as ordinary love
I was ordinary just to you

Does it mean that I’m a regular man
not as special as I think that I am?
as for you all that I want to know
did you stay up as I tumbled so low?

Just like a king who’s losing his worth,
I ‘m like the sun that’s fallen to Earth.
everyone thinks that I’m staying the same
are they secretly happy that I am in pain?

So you say it’s ordinary love,
that’s impossible to do
no such thing as ordinary love
I was ordinary, just to you

So you say it’s ordinary love,
that’s impossible to do
no such thing as ordinary love
I was ordinary just to you

If I was ordinary
and love was ordinary
if I was ordinary
oh so very ordinary
if love was ordinary
and I was ordinary
are you too?
