Mediocre Man Songtext
von Kellermensch

They call me the mediocre man
I come from Mediocre Land
I do the very best I can
To be your mediocre man
′Cause girl you know the devil's hand
It never shook no mediocre man

I love you like the fish they love the sea
I love you more than ever now that you′re leaving me
But poetry ain't never been my cup of tea
I want you to remember how much you mean to me
After everything that we've been through all these years
You′re leaving me for somebody with a better career

I threw out all the pictures of you and me
I threw out all the letters that you sent to me
I threw out everything that could remind me of you
′Cause baby there ain't nothing left for me to do
A man can never choose his own destiny or his fate
So never add nothing you can′t eat unto your plate


They call me the mediocre man
I come from Mediocre Land
I do the very best I can
To be your mediocre man
'Cause girl you know the devil′s hand
It never shook no mediocre man

For want of a nail the kingdom was lost
But baby all the best things they don't cost
I know that you′ve grown tired of living hand to mouth
And I know I've been a fool to let you live without
But a man can never choose his own destiny or his fate
I never add nothing I can't eat unto my plate

They call me the mediocre man
I come from Mediocre Land
I do the very best I can
To be your mediocre man
′Cause girl you know the devil′s hand
It never shook no mediocre man

Baby come home
Baby come home
You've got to come home
Baby come home
′Cause girl you know the devil's hand
It never shook no mediocre man


I′m a mediocre man
Girl why don't you understand?
I do the very best I can
I only need a second chance
I′m a mediocre man
Girl why don't you understand?
I do the very best I can
I only need a second chance

I only need a second chance
Third chance
Fourth chance
Fifth chance
Sixth chance
Seventh chance
Eighth chance
Ninth chance
Tenth chance
Eleventh chance
Twelfth chance
Thirteenth chance
Fourteenth chance
Fifteenth chance
Sixteenth chance
Seventeenth chance
Eighteenth chance
Nineteenth chance
Baby if you don't start figuring out...

I′m a mediocre man
I do the very best I can
I′m a mediocre man
I do the very best I can
