I Am So Ordinary Lyrics - Singles - Paula Cole

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 

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 

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
