Paula Cole - I Am So Ordinary lyrics
[Paula Cole - 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
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
And I am so ordinary
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 femininity
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
And I am so ordinary and I am so ordinary
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 Frère Jacques
And you can lose me if you want to
And I am so ordinary
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
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
And I am so ordinary
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 femininity
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
And I am so ordinary and I am so ordinary
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 Frère Jacques
And you can lose me if you want to
And I am so ordinary
