You think that I go home at night Take off my clothes, turn out the lights But I burn letters that I write To you, to make you love me But I drive naked through the park And run the stop sign in the dark Stand in the street, yell out my heart To make, to make you love me I am extraordinary If you'd ever get to know me I am extraordinary I am just your ordinary, average, everyday, sane, psycho, super goddess You may not believe in me But I believe in you So I still take the trash out Does that make you too normal for you? So dig a little deeper, cause You still don't get it yet See me lickin' my lips, need a primitive fix And I'll make, I'll make you love me I am extraordinary If you'd ever get to know me I am extraordinary I am just your ordinary, average, everyday, sane, psycho, supergoddess See me jump through hoops for you You stand there watching me performing What exactly do you do? Have you ever thought it's you that's boring? Who the hell are you? I am extraordinary I am just your ordinary, average, everyday, sane, psycho, super goddess
