Lyrics:

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, baby, 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

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


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

I am just what I am
I'm an ordinary man
If you love me, you'll understand
I'm trying to tell you, baby
I am just what I am
Just an ordinary man
If you love me, you'll understand
I'm an ordinary man
