lyrics

ORDIN’AIRELY

Ordin’airely I wouldn’t come to you
It’s quite scary what a man would do
Fooled me once and fooled me once again
I don’t know how and I really don’t know when it’s true...
I’m in love with (you)

I didn’t think
I didn’t dream that you could leave me
Another guy - another dog down the road
I couldn’t breathe
I couldn’t speak
I couldn’t eat Chinese
You said that no one’s ever gonna treat me finer
Then you left me stranded here at the “Broken Hearts Diner”

You didn’t think
You didn’t dream that I could love you
You didn’t try to figure out the score
You didn’t check
You didn’t ask but it’s still true
I know you had your training down in North Carolina 30 years ago I
betcha glad it’s behind ya

Ordin’airely, I wouldn’t sing to you.
(Hot cross buns, hot cross buns..)
Quite contrary, ‘til I heard the news
If I told ya once,
I told ya twice
Then what you did next was not so very nice
(but) it’s true,
I’m in love with...

You didn’t know that I could hear what you were sayin’
You didn’t care that your words would burst the clown
You never thought,
you never dreamt when you were layin’
Always gettin’ tanked up on a two pints Steiner
Then he spits up on your ribs, could he be any kinder?

He didn’t look, he didn’t see the head lights comin’
Stupid jerk shouldn’t be joggin’ on the shore!
I Hit the horn, flashed the lights, but he kept runnin’
But now this little hole is such a welcome reminder
‘Could be sleepin’ with the fishes off that slow boat to China

I didn’t think
I didn’t dream that you could leave me
Another chump walkin’ his dog down the road
I didn’t know
I didn’t guess
I couldn’t foresee
Now you got an extra ticket for that big ocean liner
Mom will nurse his broken bones and permanent shiner

Ordin’airely, I wouldn’t pray for you
Prayers can vary when your screws are loose
Help me baby try to understand
Maybe I’m not your ordinary man
It’s true
Still in love with...
