Ordinary Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Woke up this morning just like every man does
Walked to the bathroom just like every man does
Made my bed just like everyone must
Nursed my head just like everyone must
Spent the day playing Nina Simone
Reorganized every I record I own
I see my friends, we drank 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
But that's impossible to do
[There's] no such thing 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 the 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
But that's impossible to do
No such thing as ordinary love
I was ordinary, just to you
So you say it's ordinary love
But that's impossible to do
No such thing as ordinary love
I was ordinary just to you
Oh if love is ordinary
And your life is ordinary
Oh if we were ordinary
Just so very ordinary
Oh if love is ordinary
And I was ordinary
Are you too?
