Common Man Lyrics - David Ruffin/me 'n Rock 'n Roll Are Here To Stay - David Ruffin

I have dreamed a dream, there a common man 

Ah, hoping to rise to the top 

I have sworn by my blood as your man, my love 

That one day, I promise 

One day your hurting would stop 

But I'll never never never never change 

I never change one single grain of sand 

Oh, thanks to you baby 

For just loving a common man 

I want to thank you this evening 

Oh, I thought, I thought that I failed you so 

But that's when you turn around and look me in my eyes 

And you let me know 

You said and you said it softly 

I didn't have to worry about being a common man 

You said, "David, you don't have to worry about rising to the top" 

You said, you said, you said I didn't have to swear by my blood 

But ah baby, that one day your heartaches would stop 

Then you put your arms around me and you said 

You never never never never cared 

If I never change one single grain of sand 

You said, "I love you, baby 

I love you for just being a common man" 

For my gratitude just keep on growing 

Yeah, for recognizing me, I thank you baby 

Yeah, for respecting me, yeah I want to thank you, baby 

For every time of need, Lord, I thank you baby 

Oh for my gratitude, for respecting me, baby 

For just being a common man 

Ah I want to thank you babe 

In a time of need, I want to thank you for respecting me 

In a time of worry, I want to thank you for calming my troubles 

Oh, I thank you baby 

Thank you honey, for loving a common man like me
