Ordinary Guy Fred Eaglesmith

I could understand if he had money
I could understand if he had a nice car
I could understand if he was farming
I could understand if he was some sort of movie star

But he's just a plain old ordinary guy
With a plain old shirt
And a plain old tie
I don't know who you'd thought he'd be
But he won't fight or even disagree
And he doesn't even look a little bit like me

I could understand if he was a dancer
I could understand if that was where it's at
I could understand if this was just temporary
But it doesn't look anything like that

He's just a plain old ordinary guy
With a plain old shirt
And a plain old tie
I don't know who you'd thought he'd be
But he won't fight or even disagree
And he doesn't even look a little bit like me

If this was what you wanted
Why didn't you just say so
He's everything that I'm not
And you don't even know
