You try to put a tag on me mama You try to make out to be so good You try to make love you like you think I should You're hearin' stories 'bout me baby I'm not what you want me to be Before you leave me honey I just want you to see I am just what I am I'm an ordinary man If you love me you'll understand I'm an ordinary man When we first met the fire was burning girl But now I'm tied to so many things But I still love you honey please don't set me free I am just what I am I'm an ordinary man If you love me you'll understand I'm an ordinary man You went and left me all alone baby But I still want you girl to see I'll always love you honey please come back to me I am just what I am I'm an ordinary man If you love me you'll understand I'm an ordinary man I am just what I am I'm an ordinary man If you love me you'll understand I'm an ordinary man
