Ordinary People Lyrics - Bon Jovi

Little Jimmy just bought high-top sneakers 

He wants to fly high like his heroes can 

He's got a smile like Michael Jordan 

In the school yard, Jimmy, he's the man 

I'm sitting here watching his heart beating 

He's ten feet tall, all five foot four of him 

Come six o'clock working out his foul shots 

The ball ain't falling, Momma's calling 

She smiles and says 

Chorus: 

You and me, we're ordinary people 

Living in our ordinary lives 

We can be ordinary people 

But these are extraordinary times 

She lives alone, got four kids through high school 

She cleans houses and takes in wash at night 

You'd never know what she don't have much 

Because she's rich with the things money can't buy 

She don't need clothes 

She don't want diamonds 

Don't got a brand new car to drive in 

What she got is love and that's a lot 

At least it's a good start 

Chorus: 

You and me, we're ordinary people 

Living in our ordinary lives 

We can be ordinary people 

But these are extraordinary times 

Everybody wants to be somebody 

Everybody wants to be someone 

We only want to watch the game on Sunday 

Sit back and catch a little buzz 

Ain't nobody wants to be nobody 

Everybody wants a little love 

Everybody wants to be the hero 

Ride into the setting sun 

Chorus: 

You and me, we're ordinary people 

Living in our ordinary lives 

We can be ordinary people 

But these are extraordinary times 

I got dreams like ordinary people 

I can see it when I close my eyes at night 

Can't you see we're ordinary people
