《I’m An Ordinary Man》歌词

[00:00:00] I'm An Ordinary Man - Studio Musicians (工作室音乐家)

[00:00:05] I'm an ordinary man

[00:00:08] Who desires nothing

[00:00:10] More than an ordinary chance

[00:00:14] To live exactly as he likes

[00:00:16] And do precisely what he wants

[00:00:19] An average man am I of no eccentric whim

[00:00:24] Who wants to live his life free of strife

[00:00:32] Doing whatever he thinks is best for him

[00:00:39] Just an ordinary man

[00:00:45] But Let a woman in your life

[00:00:48] And your serenity is through

[00:00:51] She'll redecorate your home

[00:00:53] From the cellar to the dome

[00:00:55] And then go on

[00:00:55] To the enthralling fun of overhauling you

[00:01:00] Let a woman in your life

[00:01:03] And you're up against a wall

[00:01:06] Make a plan and you will find

[00:01:08] That she has something else in mind

[00:01:09] And so rather than do either you do something else

[00:01:12] That neither likes at all

[00:01:15] You want to talk of Keats and Milton

[00:01:18] She only wants to talk of love

[00:01:21] You go to see a play or ballet and spend it searching

[00:01:25] For her glove Let a woman in your life

[00:01:30] And you invite eternal strife

[00:01:34] Let them buy their wedding bands

[00:01:37] For those anxious little hands

[00:01:41] I'd be equally as willing for a dentist to be drilling

[00:01:44] Than to ever let a woman in my life

[00:01:50] I'm a very gentle man

[00:01:54] Even tempered and good natured

[00:01:57] Who you never hear complain

[00:01:59] Who has the milk of human kindness

[00:02:02] By the quart in every vein

[00:02:04] A patient man am I down to my fingertips

[00:02:09] The sort who never could ever would

[00:02:16] Let an insulting remark escape his lips

[00:02:22] Just a very gentle man

[00:02:29] But Let a woman in your life

[00:02:32] And patience hasn't got a chance

[00:02:35] She will beg you for advice

[00:02:36] Your reply will be concise

[00:02:37] And she will listen very nicely

[00:02:39] And then go out

[00:02:40] And do exactly what she wants

[00:02:44] You are a man of grace and polish

[00:02:46] Who never spoke above a hush

[00:02:49] All at once you're using language that would make

[00:02:53] A sailor blush Let a woman in your life

[00:02:58] And you're plunging in a knife

[00:03:03] Let the others of my sex

[00:03:06] Tie the knot around their necks

[00:03:09] I prefer a new edition of the Spanish Inquisition

[00:03:12] Than to ever let a woman in my life

[00:03:18] I'm a quiet living man

[00:03:23] Who prefers to spend the evening

[00:03:25] In the silence of his room

[00:03:27] Who likes an atmosphere as restful as

[00:03:31] An undiscovered tomb

[00:03:33] A pensive man am I of philosophical joys

[00:03:38] Who likes to meditate contemplate

[00:03:45] Free for humanities mad inhuman noise

[00:03:52] Just a quiet living man

[00:04:00] But let a woman in your life

[00:04:03] And your sabbatical is through

[00:04:07] In a line that never ends comes an army of her friends

[00:04:09] Come to jabber and to chatter

[00:04:11] And to tell her what the matter is with YOU

[00:04:15] She'll have a booming boisterous family

[00:04:18] Who will descend on you en mass

[00:04:21] She'll have a large wagnarian mother

[00:04:24] With a voice that shatters glass

[00:04:27] Let a woman in your life

[00:04:29] Let a woman in your life

[00:04:32] Let a woman in your life

[00:04:48] I shall never let a woman in my life
