World's greatest mystery
Love between a woman and a man
Some guys are Romeos
Others simply do the best they can
I'm just your average, ordinary Joe
Trying to learn the things
I never knew I had to know
What's a man supposed to do?
I can't get no kick from nine to five, no, no
And I'm not a man who thinks it's true
It's a woman's place to keep our love alive
I watched an empty time TV to know my baby's needs
Sometimes I swear she's impossible to pleaseShe says, "You give me all that I want of your money, babe
But you never take me dancing
Never take me dancing
You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, babe
But you never take me dancing
Never take me dancing."Think I do a lot to show how I feel about her in my ways
Roses on our anniversary, candle light, and me on her birthday
Just when I thought that I had it all worked out
She says I still don't know just what it's all aboutShe says, "You give me all that I want of your money, babe
But you never take me dancing
Never take me dancing
You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, babe
But you never take me dancing
Never take me dancing."I'm just your average, ordinary Joe
Trying to learn the things I never knew I had to knowYeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeahYou give me all that I want of your money, babe
But you never take me dancing
Never take me dancing
You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, babe
But you never take me dancing
Never take me dancing
You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, babe
But you never take me dancing
Never take me dancingGive me sweet little talk, call me honey, babe
But you never take me dancing.
