I Am So Ordinary Lyrics


I nearly died I suicided softly
I saw her shadow through the cafe window
I watched you lean across the table
I watched you whisper in her earAnd she is your holy Mary
And I am so ordinary
And you can use me if you want to
I know you need me just like an old soft shoeShe looks like me but a bit prettier
She's a skater and a ballet dancer
I saw her on your motorcycle
In the seat I thought was meant for meAnd when your mother came to Boston you disappeared
And then I saw you three together
I guess she makes the best impression
With her charming femininityOh but I am the one you will call when alone
And I am the one who will give when she's gone
And so I give
So I giveI tell myself that love is truly giving
Somehow I justify this
Hoping you will understand me

Hoping you will love me backAnd she is your holy Mary
And I am so ordinary
And she is your Queen Cleopatra
And I'm just your morning after
And she is your Star Spangled Banner
And I am just Frere Jaque
And you can lose me if you want toAnd I am so ordinary

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
