Ordinary People

Little Jimmy just bought high-top sneakersHe wants to fly high like his heroes canHe's got a smile like Michael JordanIn the school yard, Jimmy, he's the manI'm sitting here watching his heart beatingHe's ten feet tall, all five foot four of himCome six o'clock working out his foul shotsThe ball ain't falling, Momma's callingShe smiles and saysChorus:You and me, we're ordinary peopleLiving in our ordinary livesWe can be ordinary peopleBut these are extraordinary timesShe lives alone, got four kids through high schoolShe cleans houses and takes in wash at nightYou'd never know what she don't have muchBecause she's rich with the things money can't buyShe don't need clothesShe don't want diamondsDon't got a brand new car to drive inWhat she got is love and that's a lotAt least it's a good startChorus:You and me, we're ordinary peopleLiving in our ordinary livesWe can be ordinary peopleBut these are extraordinary timesEverybody wants to be somebodyEverybody wants to be someoneWe only want to watch the game on SundaySit back and catch a little buzzAin't nobody wants to be nobodyEverybody wants a little loveEverybody wants to be the heroRide into the setting sunChorus:You and me, we're ordinary peopleLiving in our ordinary livesWe can be ordinary peopleBut these are extraordinary timesI got dreams like ordinary peopleI can see it when I close my eyes at nightCan't you see we're ordinary people
