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 I am just what I am I'm an ordinary man If you love me, you'll understand I'm an ordinary man 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 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
