I'm An Ordinary Man - Studio Musicians (工作室音乐家)[00:00:00]
I'm an ordinary man [00:00:05]
Who desires nothing[00:00:08]
More than an ordinary chance [00:00:10]
To live exactly as he likes [00:00:14]
And do precisely what he wants [00:00:16]
An average man am I of no eccentric whim [00:00:19]
Who wants to live his life free of strife [00:00:24]
Doing whatever he thinks is best for him [00:00:32]
Just an ordinary man [00:00:39]
But Let a woman in your life[00:00:45]
And your serenity is through [00:00:48]
She'll redecorate your home [00:00:51]
From the cellar to the dome [00:00:53]
And then go on[00:00:55]
To the enthralling fun of overhauling you [00:00:55]
Let a woman in your life [00:01:00]
And you're up against a wall [00:01:03]
Make a plan and you will find [00:01:06]
That 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 [00:01:15]
She only wants to talk of love [00:01:18]
You go to see a play or ballet and spend it searching[00:01:21]
For her glove Let a woman in your life[00:01:25]
And you invite eternal strife [00:01:30]
Let them buy their wedding bands[00:01:34]
For those anxious little hands [00:01:37]
I'd be equally as willing for a dentist to be drilling[00:01:41]
Than to ever let a woman in my life [00:01:44]
I'm a very gentle man [00:01:50]
Even tempered and good natured[00:01:54]
Who you never hear complain [00:01:57]
Who has the milk of human kindness[00:01:59]
By the quart in every vein [00:02:02]
A patient man am I down to my fingertips [00:02:04]
The sort who never could ever would [00:02:09]
Let an insulting remark escape his lips[00:02:16]
Just a very gentle man [00:02:22]
But Let a woman in your life [00:02:29]
And patience hasn't got a chance [00:02:32]
She will beg you for advice [00:02:35]
Your reply will be concise [00:02:36]
And she will listen very nicely [00:02:37]
And then go out[00:02:39]
And do exactly what she wants [00:02:40]
You are a man of grace and polish [00:02:44]
Who never spoke above a hush [00:02:46]
All at once you're using language that would make[00:02:49]
A sailor blush Let a woman in your life [00:02:53]
And you're plunging in a knife [00:02:58]
Let the others of my sex [00:03:03]
Tie the knot around their necks [00:03:06]
I prefer a new edition of the Spanish Inquisition[00:03:09]
Than to ever let a woman in my life[00:03:12]
I'm a quiet living man [00:03:18]
Who prefers to spend the evening[00:03:23]
In the silence of his room [00:03:25]
Who likes an atmosphere as restful as[00:03:27]
An undiscovered tomb [00:03:31]
A pensive man am I of philosophical joys [00:03:33]
Who likes to meditate contemplate [00:03:38]
Free for humanities mad inhuman noise [00:03:45]
Just a quiet living man [00:03:52]
But let a woman in your life [00:04:00]
And your sabbatical is through [00:04:03]
In a line that never ends comes an army of her friends [00:04:07]
Come to jabber and to chatter[00:04:09]
And to tell her what the matter is with YOU [00:04:11]
She'll have a booming boisterous family [00:04:15]
Who will descend on you en mass [00:04:18]
She'll have a large wagnarian mother [00:04:21]
With a voice that shatters glass [00:04:24]
Let a woman in your life [00:04:27]
Let a woman in your life [00:04:29]
Let a woman in your life[00:04:32]
I shall never let a woman in my life[00:04:48]
