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
