[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]
