Ordinary People

Few R'n'B/hiphop acts these days really pique my interest.
Nothing challenging. Nothing unexpected.

So when right hand man of Kayne West, John Stevens aka John Legend came through one night when I was watching tv, singing Ordinary People, it was a breath of fresh air. Air fragranced with crisp riesling, warm cotton-white pullovers and coriander leaves. Ok, I digress.

Girl, I'm in love with you,
This ain't the honey moon.
Past the infatuation phase,
Right in the thick of love.
At times we get sick of love,
It seems like we argue everyday.

I know I misbehaved,
And you've made your mistakes,
And we both still got room left to grow.
And though love sometimes hurts,
I still put you first,
And we'll make this thing work,
But I think we should take it slow.

We're just ordinary people,
We don't know which way to go,
Cause we're ordinary people,
Maybe we should take it slow, take it slow.
This time we'll take it slow, take it slow.
This time we'll take it slow.

This ain't a movie, no.
No fairy tale conclusion, ya'll,
It gets more confusing everyday.
Sometimes it's heaven sent,
Then we head back to hell again.
We kiss then we make up on the way.

I hang up, you call,
We rise and we fall.
And we feel like just walking away.
As our love advances,
We take second chances,
Though it's not a fantasy,
I still want you to stay.

We're just ordinary people,
We don't know which way to go,
Cause we're ordinary people,
Maybe we should take it slow, take it slow.
This time we'll take it slow, take it slow.
This time we'll take it slow, take it slow.

Maybe we'll live and learn,
Maybe we'll crash and burn,
Maybe you'll stay,
Maybe you'll leave,
Maybe you'll return.
Maybe another fight.
Maybe we won't survive.
Maybe we'll grow, we never know,
Baby, you and I,

We're just ordinary people,
We don't know which way to go,
Cause we're ordinary people,
Maybe we should take it slow, hey,

We're just ordinary people,
We don't know which way to go
Cause we're ordinary people,
Maybe we should take it slow, take it slow.
This time we'll take it slow, take it slow.
This time we'll take it slow, take it slow.
Take it slow, slow, this time we'll take it slow.
Take it slow, this time we'll take it slow.
