I Am An Ordinary Man(Live)
Lyricist:Alan Jay Lerner Composer:Frederick Loewe
I'm an ordinary man Who desires nothing more than just an ordinary chance To live exactly as he likes and do precisely what he wants An average man am I of no eccentric whim Who likes to live his life free of strife Doing whatever he thinks is best for him Just an ordinary man
But let a woman in your life And your serenity is through
She'll redecorate your home from the cellar to the dome Then get on to the enthralling fun of overhauling you
Oh let a woman in your life and you're up against a wall Make a plan and you will find she has something else in mind And so rather than do either you do something neither likes at all
You want to talk of keats or milton She only wants to talk of love
You go to see a play or ballet And spend it searching for her glove
Oh let a woman in your life And you invite eternal strife
Let them buy their wedding bands for those anxious little hands
I'd be equally as willing for a dentist to be drilling Than to ever let a woman in my life
I'm a very gentle man Even-tempered and good-natured Who you never hear complain
Who has the milk of human kindness by the quart in every vein A patient man am I down to my fingertips The sort who never would never could Let an insulting remark escape his lips
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Just a very gentle man
But let a woman in your life and patience hasn't got a chance She will ask you for advice your reply will be concise And she'll listen very nicely Then go out and do precisely what she wants
You are a man of grace and polish who never spoke above a hush Now all at once you're using language that would make a sailor blush
Let a woman in your life and you're plunging in a knife
Let those others of my sex Tie the knots around their necks
I prefer new edition of the spanish inquisition Than to ever let a woman in my life
I'm a quiet living man Who prefers to spend the evening in the silence of his room Who likes the atmosphere as restful as an undiscovered tomb A pensive man am I of philosophical joys Who likes to meditate contemplate Free from humanity's mad inhuman noise
Just a quiet living man
But let a woman in your life And patience had to get a chance In a line that never ends comes an army of her friends Come to jabber and to chatter And to tell her what the matter is with you She'll have a booming boisterous family Who will descend on you en mass She'll have a large wagnerian mother With a voice that shatters glass Oh let a woman in your life Oh let a woman in your life Oh let a woman in your life
I shall never let a woman in my life
