Lyrics

I don't drive a beautiful car and
I don't own an elegant home 'cause
I don't have thousands to spend
Or a seaside cottage for the weekend
I'm just an ordinary guy (Ordinary guy)
You left behind (Ordinary guy)
Ordinary guy (Ordinary guy)
That you left behind
Exclusive nightclubs are out of style with me 'cause
I don't associate
With high society
I don't hang around playboy millionaires
I'm just an ordinary guy (Ordinary guy)
You left behind (Ordinary guy)
Ordinary guy (Ordinary guy)
That you left behind
Subways take me downtown
My apartment is my home
I spend the weekend with friends
Otherwise, I'm alone
Walk hard
Pay me no mind
You're ashamed of me
Lil' girl, walk up, lil' girl
Ooh, come on back to your daddy
I love you so badly, girl
Ooh, you know I do love
