Langston Hughes - He's Just An Ordinary Guy lyrics

He's just an ordinary guy He doesn't occupy a seat of government Or anything like that He works hard everyday Saturday, brings home his pay He may take a gla** of beer sometimes, I'd bet He's never had his name in lights He's never front-paged news He stands up for his rights Yet doesn't beef, or sing the blues He's just an ordinary guy But when he comes home And he holds me tight And we make that light It makes all things right And when he goes out All the lights go out He's just an ordinary guy He likes the radio on He wears his baseball cap He drinks his beer on tap Nothing much does he say But what he says, he says his way He likes meat He likes potatoes That is that When we go dancing once a week He's no Astaire, he's meek But don't call the police! Believe me, I'm no Cyd Charisse He's just an ordinary guy But when he comes home and he holds me nice And I melt like ice It's like paradise And when he goes out All the lights go out He's just an ordinary guy He's just an ordinary guy There's no other guy like mine to tuck me in Why? Because he's my ordinary guy
