Lyrics Roberta Flack

Roberta Flack

Ordinary Man

Hardly knew him when you wanted to give him all your love

He saw right through you and knew that he could do just what he wants

Like any ordinary man

Tried to get to you

Being cool

Dark and lovely he was like poetry in motion when he moved

My heart was hungry when he smiled staring me down across the room

Like any ordinary man

Tried to get to you

Being cool

But he never showed his hands

Till the clock struck twelve

And the morning light

And passion ruled his mind

Only time will tell if his move was right

And the morning sun will shine

It's every love light on too

Make sure you see it through

Somebody is watching what you do

Clime to the danger suddenly

Would this be my only chance?

Could I love a stranger?

Could he love me?

Is it just a one night stand?

Like any ordinary man

Tried to get to you

Being cool

But he never showed his hands
