Ordinary People lyrics
by John Legend



Girl I'm in love with you

This ain't the honeymoon

Past the infatuation phase

Right in the thick of love

At times we get sick of love

It seems like we argue every day



I know I misbehaved

And you made your mistakes

And we both 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



[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people

We don't know which way to go

Cuz we're ordinary people

Maybe we should take it slow (take it slow oh oh ohh)

This time we'll take it slow (take it slow oh oh ohh)

This time we'll take it slow



This ain't a movie no

No fairy tale conclusion y'all

It gets more confusing every day

Sometimes it's heaven sent

We head back to hell again

We kiss and we make up on the way



I hang up you call

We rise and we fall

And we feel just like walking away

But as our love advances

We take second chances

Though it's not a fantasy

I still want you to stay



[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people

We don't know which way to go

Cuz we're ordinary people

Maybe we should take it slow (take it slow oh oh ohh)

This time we'll take it slow (take it slow oh oh ohh)

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 you'll never find

Maybe we won't survive

But maybe we'll grow

You never know baby you and I



[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people

We don't know which way to go

Cuz we're ordinary people

Maybe we should take it slow (hey)

We're just ordinary people

We don't know which way to go

Cuz we're ordinary people

Maybe we should take it slow (take it slow oh oh ohh)

This time we'll take it slow (take it slow oh oh ohh)

This time we'll take it slow
