The Ordinary Woman by El Obo Lyrics

Did she scare you away?
I know what you said when you tried to explain
Did she give you no choice?
Weighing all your options
You smothered her voice
When you followed her down
Down by the waters edge with a flower

But the woman is ordinary
Until she grows weary
So string them along
Waiting for the day when you can move on
Give her this kiss
Your humble little kid
But you're such a good man

Did you frighten her then?
You were the burning bush
You were the lions den
Did the water spill out?
Much like the words and the lies in your mouth
But did you care much more then
Standing on the creek bed, you decided to give in
But the woman is ordinary
'Til she has your baby
So you tug her along
Waiting for the day when you can move on
Give her this gift
Humble little kid
But you're such a good man

The woman is ordinary
Until she has your baby
So string them along
Performing some reservice that you have done wrong
So give her this gift
Your humble little kid
But you're such a good man
