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
|
|
