I nearly died I suicided softly 
I saw her shadow through the cafe window 
I watched you lean across the table 
I watched you whisper in her ear 

And she is your holy Mary 
And I am so ordinary 
And you can use me if you want to 
I know you need me just like an old soft shoe 

She looks like me but a bit prettier 
She's a skater and a ballet dancer 
I saw her on your motorcycle 
In the seat I thought was meant for me 

Chorus 

And when your mother came to Boston you disappeared 
And then I saw you three together 
I guess she makes the best impression 
With her charming femininity... 

Chorus 

Oh but I am the one you will call when alone 
And I am the one who will give when she's gone 
And so I give 
So I give 

I tell myself that love is truly giving 
Somehow I justify this 
Hoping you will understand me 
Hoping you will love me back 

And she is your holy Mary 
And I am so ordinary 
And she is your Queen Cleopatra 
And I'm just your morning after 
And she is your Star Spangled Banner 
And I am just Frere Jaque 
And you can lose me if you want to 

And I am so ordinary
