Verse 1

You try to put a tag on me, mama

You try to make out to be so good

You try to make love you like you think I should

You're hearin' stories 'bout me, baby

I'm not what you want me to be

Before you leave me, honey

I just want you to see



Chorus

I am just what I am

I'm an ordinary man

If you love me, you'll understand

I'm an ordinary man



Verse 2

When we first met the fire was burning, girl

But now I'm tied to so many things

But I still love you, honey, please don't set me free



Repeat Chorus

Verse 3

You went and left me all alone, baby

But I still want you, girl, to see

I'll always love you, honey, please come back to me



Repeat Chorus
