baby I don't want to lead you on
feed you empty promises and never follow through
there's a lot of things that I do wrong
if you're looking for the perfect one this aint for you

'cause what I've got is just an ordinary heart
but I'll give it more than anybody
you can always trust this ordinary heart

maybe I don't want to let you down
tell you that I'll always be around and miss my cue
I can be a lover and a fool
every now and then I lose my cool that's what I do

'cause what I've got is just an ordinary heart
but I'll give it more than anybody
you can always trust this ordinary heart

I know you're scared that I might change
or even worse I'll stay the same

'cause what I've got is just an ordinary heart
but I'll give it more than anybody
you can always trust this ordinary heart
