Story behind the song
The lyrics of this song were inspired by my personal feelings about people not seeing me as an ordinary guy because they're constantly buttering me up with a lot of nice compliments.
Lyrics
ORDINARY
Words and music by Benjamin Delwin Pressley
(Verse I)
It seems that ev'rytime you look at me
All you see is Mr. Nice Guy, Brad Pitt, or Chris Brown
But it's all an illusion 'cos the truth is
I'm just a worthless airhead with nothin' to my name
(Chorus I)
I'm nothin' more than ordinary
Baby, can't you see
I'm not by any means an angel
(Verse II)
The whole world seems to think that I'm the bee's knees
Just 'cos of the way they see me do ev'rythin'
But in all blunt reality
I'm just a hack doin' the very best I can
(Chorus II)
I'm nothin' more than ordinary
When you gonna see
I'm worthy of no kind of praise
INSTRUMENTAL
REPEAT CHORUS I
(Outro-chorus)
Open your eyes and see
That I ain't no saint or Mr. Perfect
I'm just ordinary
Nothin' more and nothin' less
