So he buys her flowers and diamond rings
Tries to turn her head around in a million ways
I realise that it's hard to resist his attention
But she just ignores the kinda things he says
She's an ordinary girl
She don't wanna change the world
She still loves me all she can
I' m her ordinary man
If I had the chance to start all over
I know she's the kind I'll still be looking for
Just an ordinary girl
She don't wanna change the world
And she's givin' all she can
To her ordinary man
I don't know why, why she should make me feel so fine
I couldn't give an explanation if I tried
She don't fool around, given temptation
Even though I know he'd like to steal her away
Every time he tries, to his frustration
She just turns her head and looks the other way
She's an ordinary girl
She don't wanna change the world
And she's givin' all she can
To her ordinary man
Just an ordinary girl
She don't wanna change my world
And I give her all I can
I'm her ordinary man
Ordinary girl
I don't wanna change her world
Cos she loves me all she can
Just an ordinary man
She's an ordinary girl
She don't wanna change the world
And she's doin' all she can
For her ordinary man
Tries to turn her head around in a million ways
I realise that it's hard to resist his attention
But she just ignores the kinda things he says
She's an ordinary girl
She don't wanna change the world
She still loves me all she can
I' m her ordinary man
If I had the chance to start all over
I know she's the kind I'll still be looking for
Just an ordinary girl
She don't wanna change the world
And she's givin' all she can
To her ordinary man
I don't know why, why she should make me feel so fine
I couldn't give an explanation if I tried
She don't fool around, given temptation
Even though I know he'd like to steal her away
Every time he tries, to his frustration
She just turns her head and looks the other way
She's an ordinary girl
She don't wanna change the world
And she's givin' all she can
To her ordinary man
Just an ordinary girl
She don't wanna change my world
And I give her all I can
I'm her ordinary man
Ordinary girl
I don't wanna change her world
Cos she loves me all she can
Just an ordinary man
She's an ordinary girl
She don't wanna change the world
And she's doin' all she can
For her ordinary man
