If I was a writer I would have the words
To tell you all that I mean
If I was a painter I’d paint me in colors
To help you to understand me
If I was a poet I would write you a poem
Romantic, heartbreaking and true
If I was a weatherman I would conjure a storm
That would take me straight to you
Chorus
But I’m normal and common you know,
And my talents are far from unique
And that is the Reason it’s so hard to show
How I feel and all that I think
If I was a space man I’d fly to the stars
And bring them to you on a plate
If I was a pirate that sails the seas
my treasures you’d always get
If I was an explorer I’d discover new lands
So virgin and pure just for you
If I was a doctor I’d find you a cure
For whatever is making you blue
But I’m normal and common you know…
I don’t have the words or
the hands or the vision of artists
Whatever they may be
I don’t have the knowledge
Or precision of surgeons to tell you
What you mean to me
I’m not a De Vinci or Shakespeare or such,
I’m no Casanova you see
But I think that because
I am average Joe you have all these feelings
For me
If I was an athlete I’d break all the records to give you my medal of gold
If I hunted treasure I’d find you the richest treasure from days of old
Darling I guess what I’m trying to say is I love you
Though it sometimes don’t show
And even when sometimes it’s in funny ways
It’s all that I need you to know
