Lyrics
Ordinary Girl
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.
And she sits with a cup of coffee
Lights another cigarette,
Stares out the kitchen window
And wonders if that's all she gets
She thinks about back in high school
Turns on the radio
But the old songs just remind her
What she was a long time ago
Ooh, she's lookin' for a rainbow, all she knows.
Ooh, lookin' for a magic rainbow day in the snow.
Hey, girl, don't be so hard on yourself
You're only like everyone else
And we all go through those changes
Hey, girl, heaven still waits in your eyes
Even though time passes by as you're
Going through this world an everyday, ordinary girl
And she looks at the ring on her finger
Thinks about her wedding day
That just gets her dreaming about the boy that got away
And a kiss from a distant summer still lights up her eyes
And it brings back all the feelings
Like a thousand fireflies; ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, she's lookin' for a rainbow, all she knows
Ooh, lookin' for a magic rainbow day in the snow
Girl, don't be so hard on yourself,
You're only like everyone else
And we all go through those changes.
Hey, girl, heaven still waits in your eyes
Even though time passes by as you're
Going through this world an everyday, ordinary girl
Even though time passes by as you're going
Through this world an everyday, ordinary girl
A very special, ordinary girl
