I Am So Ordinary - Lyrics by Paula Cole


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 femininity...

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 jaque
And you can lose me if you want to

And i am so ordinary
