Everybody's looking these things
There's something beautiful to say
Everybody knows a new way to say the things they always say
I hope you already know
Ooh, I'm going to sing it anyway
This is just an ordinary love song
These are just ordinary words
Put to a simple melody
You may not hear them on the radio
I might forget the words I wrote
Ooh, but if this all turns out wrong
Know my heartbroken words to this ordinary love song
You've seen me up, you've seen me down
I've been there but I've come around
You can tell without a doubt
I'm saying what I mean
Ooh, What I'm singing has been said a million ways
Mmm, I'm going to sing it anyway
This is just an ordinary love song
These are just ordinary words
I might forget the words I wrote
Know my heartbroken words to this ordinary love song
And I'm less likely to trip on my words
But if the music is all that you have heard
Come a little closer baby
Listen to the words I'm singing
This is just an ordinary love song
These are just ordinary words
You may not hear them on the radio
I might forget the words I wrote
Ooh, but if this all turns out wrong
I wasn't born a poet
What I'm singing has been said a million ways
You see the words still me
You know me in, you know me out
Put to a simple melody
You may not hear them on the radio
Ooh, but if this all turns out wrong
When I'm working on the melody
Put to a simple melody
Know my heartbroken words to this ordinary love song
