Ordinary People Little Jimmy just bought high-top sneakers He wants to fly high like his heroes can He's got a smile like Michael Jordan In the school yard, Jimmy, he's the man I'm sitting here watching his heart beating He's ten feet tall, all five foot four of him Come six o'clock working out his foul shots The ball ain't falling, Momma's calling She smiles and says Chorus: You and me, we're ordinary people Living in our ordinary lives We can be ordinary people But these are extraordinary times She lives alone, got four kids through high school She cleans houses and takes in wash at night You'd never know that she don't have much Because she's rich with the things money can't buy She don't need clothes She don't want diamonds Don't got a brand new car to drive in What she got is love and that's a lot At least it's a good start Chorus: You and me, we're ordinary people Living in our ordinary lives We can be ordinary people But these are extraordinary times Everybody wants to be somebody Everybody wants to be someone We only want to watch the game on Sunday Sit back and catch a little buzz Ain't nobody wants to be nobody Everybody wants a little love Everybody wants to be the hero Ride into the setting sun Chorus: You and me, we're ordinary people Living in our ordinary lives We can be ordinary people But these are extraordinary times I've got dreams like ordinary people I can see it when I close my eyes at night Can't you see we're ordinary people These are extraordinary times Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Say, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey (I have to go pee)
