Ooh, now listen up here
You try to put a tag on me, mama
You try to make me out to be so good
You try to make me love you
Like you think I should
Now listen to me, baby
You're hearin' stories 'bout me, baby
I'm not what you want me to be, no, no, no
Before you leave me, baby
I just want you to see, yeah
I am just what I am
I'm an ordinary man
If you love me, you'll understand
I'm an ordinary man
And here we go again
When we first met the fire was burning, girl
But now I'm tied to so many things, yes I am
But I still love you, honey
Please don't set me free, no
I am just what I am
I'm an ordinary man
If you love me, you'll understand
I'm an ordinary man
You went and left me all alone, baby
But I still want you, girl you see
I'll always love you, honey
Please come back to me, yeah
I am just what I am
I'm an ordinary man
If you love me, you'll understand
I'm tryin' to tell you, baby
One more time
I am what I am
Just an ordinary man
If you love me, you'll understand
I'm an ordinary man
