I'm An Ordinary Man - Nat King Cole (纳·京·高尔)[00:00:00]

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

Who desires nothing more than just this ordinary chance[00:00:08]

To live exactly as he likes and do precisely what he wants[00:00:14]

An average man am I of no eccentric whim[00:00:20]

Who wants to live his life free of strife[00:00:26]

Doing whatever he thinks is best for him[00:00:30]

Just an ordinary man[00:00:37]

But let a woman in your life and your serenity is through[00:00:43]

She'll redecorate your home from the cellar to the dome[00:00:51]

And then go on to the enthralling fun of overhauling you[00:00:54]

Oh let a woman in your life and you're up against a wall[00:01:00]

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

She has something else in mind[00:01:08]

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

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

You want to talk of Keats and Milton[00:01:16]

She only wants to talk of love[00:01:19]

You go to see a play or ballet and spend it searching for her glove[00:01:22]

Oh let a woman in your life[00:01:28]

And you invite eternal strife[00:01:31]

Let them buy their wedding bands for those anxious little hands[00:01:34]

I'd be equally as willing for a dentist to be drilling[00:01:42]

Than to ever let a woman in my life[00:01:46]

I'm a very gentle man[00:01:53]

Even tempered and good nature[00:01:56]

Who you never hear complain[00:01:59]

Who has the milk of human kindness[00:02:02]

By the quart in every vein[00:02:05]

A patient man am I down to my fingertips[00:02:09]

The sort who never could ever would[00:02:14]

Let an insulting remark escape his lips[00:02:18]

Just an ordinary man[00:02:26]

But let a woman in your life[00:02:32]

And patience hasn't got a chance[00:02:36]

She will beg you for your advice your reply will be concise[00:02:40]

And she will listen very nicely and then go out[00:02:43]

And do exactly what she wants[00:02:45]

You are a man of grace and polish[00:02:49]

Who never spoke above a hush[00:02:52]

All at once you're using language[00:02:55]

That would make a sailor blush[00:02:58]

Oh let a woman in your life[00:03:02]

And you're plunging in a knife[00:03:05]

Let the others of my sex tie the knot around their necks[00:03:08]

I prefer a new edition of the Spanish inquisition[00:03:16]

Than to ever let a woman in my life[00:03:20]

I'm a quiet living man[00:03:27]

Who prefers to spend the evening in the silence of his room[00:03:31]

Who likes an atmosphere as restful as an undiscovered tomb[00:03:37]

A pensive man am I of philosophical joys[00:03:44]

Who likes to meditate contemplate[00:03:50]

Free for humanities mad in human noise[00:03:53]

Just a quiet living man[00:04:01]

But let a woman in your life and your sabbatical is through[00:04:07]

In a line that never ends comes an army of her friends[00:04:15]

Come to jabber and to chatter[00:04:18]

And to tell her what the matter is with you[00:04:19]

She'll have a booming boisterous family[00:04:24]

Who will descend on you uh mass[00:04:27]

She'll have a large Wagnerian mother[00:04:30]

With a voice that shatters glass[00:04:33]

Oh let a woman in your life[00:04:36]

Oh let a woman in your life[00:04:39]

Let a woman in your life[00:04:43]

I shall never let a woman in my life[00:04:59]
