I Am So Ordinary Lyrics

I Am So Ordinary lyrics

I nearly died I suicided softly

 I saw her shadow through the cafe window

 I watched you lean across the table

 I watched you whisper in her ear

 

 And she is your holy Mary

 And I am so ordinary

 And you can use me if you want to

 I know you need me just like an old soft shoe

 

 She looks like me but a bit prettier

 She's a skater and a ballet dancer

 I saw her on your motorcycle

 In the seat I thought was meant for me

 

 (Chorus)

 

 And when your mother came to Boston you disappeared

 And then I saw you three together

 I guess she makes the best impression

 With her charming feminitity...

 

 (Chorus)

 

 Oh but I am the one you will call when alone

 And I am the one who will give when she's gone

 And so I give

 So I give

 

 I tell myself that love is truly giving

 Somehow I justify this

 Hoping you will understand me

 Hoping you will love me back

 

 And she is your holy Mary

 And I am so ordinary

 And she is your Queen Cleopatra

 And I'm just your morning after

 And she is your Star Spangled Banner

 And I am just Frere Jacque

 And you can lose me if you want to.

 

 And I am so ordinary.
