Ordinary Man


It’s on those days when I feel ordinary
Those days when I can’t see
All the things I can’t put my finger on
But everything that I’d miss
If you were ever gone
Yeah it’s on those days
That I can’t help but realize
As I gaze into your eyes

I don’t want to be an average ordinary man
How can I feel ordinary when
I’m holding your hand
I don’t want to never ever take a chance
How can I not take chances
When you ask me to dance
I don’t want to be an average ordinary man
How can I feel ordinary when
I’m loved by an extraordinary woman

It’s when I can’t see why you love me
And what I do feels ordinary
That’s when I know I’m the lucky one
The one who’d be lost
If our love was ever done
Yeah it’s on those days
That I can’t help but realize
As I gaze into your eyes

I don’t want to be an average ordinary man
How can I feel ordinary when
You’re holding my hand
I don’t want to never ever take a chance
How can I not take chances
When you ask me to dance
I don’t want to be an average ordinary man
How can I feel ordinary when
I’m loved by an extraordinary woman

Life’s just too short
And love’s just too fragile
To not strive for the heaven’s above
I don’t have time to worry about you
I have time to give love
Love it can last
but only if I try
and we can dream of it
Or we can teach ourselves to fly

I don’t want to be an average ordinary man
How can I feel ordinary
When you’re holding my hand
I don’t want to never ever take a chance
How can I not take chances
When you ask me to dance
I don’t want to be an average ordinary man
How can I be ordinary when
I’m loved by an extraordinary woman

I want to be superman for you
I want to lasso the moon
I want to solve all your troubles
And catch each tear in my hand
Be up to my elbows in the dishes
move the furniture for the fortieth time
Yeah I want to learn to be
What you are to me
I want to learn to leave the ordinary
For the extraordinary that you are to me

I don’t want to be an average ordinary man
How can I feel ordinary
When you’re holding my hand
I don’t want to never ever take a chance
How can I not take chances
When you ask me to dance
I don’t want to be an average ordinary man
How can I feel ordinary when
I’m loved by an extraordinary woman
Come see what extraordinary’s done
Yeah I’m just the lucky one
Yeah I’m just the lucky one
