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
