《I’m Just an Ordinary Man》歌词

[00:04:34] Lyrics:

[00:04:34] Pickering:

[00:04:34] Higgins,forgive the bluntness,

[00:04:34] but if I am to be in this business,

[00:04:34] I shall feel responsible for the girl.

[00:04:34] Are you a man of good character where women are concerned?

[00:04:34] Higgins:

[00:04:34] Have you ever met a man of good character where women are concerned?

[00:04:34] Well,I haven't.

[00:04:34] I find the moment I let a woman make friends with me,

[00:04:34] she becomes jealous,exacting,suspicious and a damned nuisance.

[00:04:34] And I find the moment that I make friends with a woman,

[00:04:34] I become selfish and tyrannical.

[00:04:34] So here I am,a confirmed old bachelor and likely to remain so.

[00:04:34] Well after all, Pickering, I'm an ordinary man,

[00:04:34] Who desires nothing more than an ordinary chance,

[00:04:34] to live exactly as he likes, and do precisely what he wants...

[00:04:34] An average man am I, of no eccentric whim,

[00:04:34] Who likes to live his life, free of strife,

[00:04:34] doing whatever he thinks is best, for him.

[00:04:34] Well... just an ordinary man...

[00:04:34] BUT, Let a woman in your life

[00:04:34] and your serenity is through,

[00:04:34] she'll redecorate your home, from the cellar to the dome,

[00:04:34] and then go on to the enthralling fun of overhauling you...

[00:04:34] Let a woman in your life,

[00:04:34] and you're up against a wall,

[00:04:34] make a plan and you will find,

[00:04:34] that she has something else in mind,

[00:04:34] and so rather than do either you do something else that neither likes at all .

[00:04:34] You want to talk of Keats and Milton,

[00:04:34] she only wants to talk of love,

[00:04:34] You go to see a play or ballet,

[00:04:34] and spend it searching for her glove.

[00:04:34] Let a woman in your life

[00:04:34] and you invite eternal strife,

[00:04:34] Let them buy their wedding bands for those anxious little hands...

[00:04:34] I'd be equally as willing for a dentist to be drilling

[00:04:34] than to ever let a woman in my life.

[00:04:34] I'm a very gentle man,

[00:04:34] even tempered and good natured who you never hear complain,

[00:04:34] Who has the milk of human kindness by the quart in every vein,

[00:04:34] A patient man am I, down to my fingertips,

[00:04:34] the sort who never could, ever would,

[00:04:34] let an insulting remark escape his lips.

[00:04:34] A very gentle man...

[00:04:34] But, Let a woman in your life,

[00:04:34] and patience hasn't got a chance,

[00:04:34] she will beg you for advice, your reply will be concise,

[00:04:34] and she will listen very nicely, and then go out

[00:04:34] and do exactly what she wants!

[00:04:34] You are a man of grace and polish,

[00:04:34] who never spoke above a hush,

[00:04:34] all at once you're using language

[00:04:34] that would make a sailor blush.

[00:04:34] Let a woman in your life,

[00:04:34] and you're plunging in a knife,

[00:04:34] Let the others of my sex, tie the knot around their necks,

[00:04:34] I prefer a new edition of the Spanish Inquisition

[00:04:34] than to ever let a woman in my life.

[00:04:34] I'm a quiet living man,

[00:04:34] who prefers to spend the evening in the silence of his room,

[00:04:34] who likes an atmosphere as restful as an undiscovered tomb,

[00:04:34] A pensive man am I, of philosophical joys,

[00:04:34] who likes to meditate, contemplate,

[00:04:34] far for humanities mad inhuman noise,

[00:04:34] A quiet living man....

[00:04:34] But, let a woman in your life,

[00:04:34] and your sabbatical is through,

[00:04:34] in a line that never ends comes an army of her friends,

[00:04:34] come to jabber and to chatter and to tell her what the matter is with YOU!

[00:04:34] She'll have a booming boisterous family,

[00:04:34] who will descend on you en mass.

[00:04:34] She'll have a large wagnarian mother,

[00:04:34] with a voice that shatters glass.

[00:04:34] Let a woman in your life,

[00:04:34] Let a woman in your life...@#$%^&

[00:04:34] I shall never let a woman in my life.
