Ordinary Pain

When by the phone
In vain you sit
You very soon in your mind realize that it's not just
An ordinary pain in your heart
When you by chance
Go knock on her door
Walkin' away you're convinced that it's much more
Than just an ordinary pain in your heart
It's more than just
An ordinary pain in your heart
Don't fool yourself
But tell no one else
That it's more than just
An ordinary pain
In your heart
When you catch up
But she says goodbye
Hold back your tears and before you start to cry
Say you feel unnecessary pain in your heart
Tell her you're glad
It's over in fact
Can she take with her the pain she brought you back
Takin that ordinary pain from your heart
It's more than just
An ordinary pain from your heart
Don't fool yourself
But tell no one else
That it's more than just
An ordinary pain
In your heart
In your heart
In your heart
You're just a masachistic fool
Because you knew my love was cruel
You never listened when they said
Don't let that girl go to your head
But like a play boy you said no
Ordinary pain
This little girl's mind you will blow
Ordinary pain
But then I blew you out the box
Ordinary pain
When I put my stuff on key and lock
Ordinary pain
It makes me feel kind of sick
Ordinary pain
To know love put you in a trick
Ordinary pain
I knew our love would have to end
Ordinary pain
The day I made it with your friend
Ordinary pain
Giving your love to one unreal
Ordinary pain
Like a big fool I know you feel
Ordinary pain
But in this lovie-dovie game
Ordinary pain
With all its joy there must be pain
Ordinary pain
But now the time has surely come
Ordinary pain
This game don't seem like so much fun
Ordinary pain
You're cryin big corcodile tears
Ordinary pain
Don't match the ones I've cried for years
Ordinary pain
When I was home waiting for you
Ordinary pain
You were out somewhere doing the do
Ordinary pain
You know I'd really like to stay
Ordinary pain
But like you did I've go to play
Ordinary pain
You're dumb to think I'd let you be
Ordinary pain
Scott free without some pain from me
Ordinary pain
I heard your song and took a chance
Ordinary pain
But to your music I can't dance
Ordinary pain
Go tell your story sob-sad
Ordinary pain
About you blowin what you had
Ordinary pain
Since one ain't good enough for you
Ordinary pain
Then do yourself see how you do
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain
Ordinary pain
