Mika - Ordinary Man lyrics

[Mika - Ordinary Man lyrics]

Woke up this morning just like every man does
Walked to the bathroom just
Like every man does
Made my bed just like everyone must
Nursed my head just like everyone must
Spent the day playing Nina Simone
Reorganized every record I own
I see my friends, we drank beer in a can
Half-drunk they smile, it'll be alright, man

Just like a king who's losing his worth
I'm like a snob who's falling to earth
Everyone thinks that I'm staying the same
Are they secretly happy that I am in pain?

So you say it's ordinary love
That's impossible to do
No such thing as ordinary, love
I was ordinary just to you

Does it mean that I'm a regular man
Not as special as I think that I am?
As for you, all that I want to know
Did you stay up as I tumbled so low?

Just like a king who's losing his worth
I'm like the sun that's fallen to Earth
Everyone thinks that I'm staying the same
Are they secretly happy that I am in pain?

So you say it's ordinary love
That's impossible to do
No such thing as ordinary, love
I was ordinary just to you
So you say it's ordinary love
That's impossible to do
No such thing as ordinary, love
I was ordinary just to you

If I was ordinary and love was ordinary
If I was ordinary oh, so very ordinary
If love was ordinary and I was ordinary
Are you too?
