I was just thinking to myself this morning

You know what I thought

Just as helpless I really am

My hair is turning grey

I get a new wrinkle every day

I guess I am just a mortal man

Let me tell you all about it

I cannot make myself live forever

(Never live forever)

God knows I tried

I can't even make one flower grow

It takes water to do that

That feels God knows I tried

But that hands on the clock keep ticking on by

One day young, the next you're old

Now listen to this

Oh I thought I was such a super lover

Did the best I could

And from my side darling I thought you would never, never go away

That's my soul disclaim

And this ego of mine have been betrayed

As I stared at empty walls, I found I'm no super lover at all

Well, you see that's bad, bad

And left him with a scar on this mortal man

I'm gonna get on back to my story

Now I don't know if I'll ever get to go to heaven

Listen to me

But youou never know, even I, even I may get to go

Oh lord

If there's away I could go

I'll leave this human skin all far down below

Say goodbye, goodbye world of being a mortal man

But in the mean time I'm still down here doing the best I can

Shamed,shamed, shamed for being just a mortal man

Can you hear me sayin'?

Oh lord, guess I'm just a mortal man
