Текст песни
After all Pickering, I'm an ordinary man
Who desires nothing more than just the ordinary chance
To live exactly as he likes and do precisely what he wants
An average man am I, of no eccentric whim
Who likes to live his life free from strife
Doing whatever he thinks is best for him
Just an ordinary man
But let a woman in your life
And your serenity is through
She'll redecorate your home from the cellar to the dome
Then get on to the enthralling fun of overhauling you
Oh, let a woman in your life
And you are up against the wall
Make a plan and you will find she has something else in mind
And so rather than do either you do
Something else that neither likes at all
You want to talk of Keats or Milton
She only wants to talk of love
You go to see a play or ballet
You spend it searching for her glove
Oh, let a woman in your life
And you invite eternal strife
Let them buy their wedding bands for their anxious little hands
I'd be equally as willing for a dentist to be drilling
Than to ever let a woman in my life
I'm a very gentle man
Even tempered and good natured
Whom you never hear complain
Who has the milk of human kindness
By the quart in every vein
A patient man am I, down to my fingertips
The sort who never could, ever would
Let an insulting remark escape his lips
Just a very gentle man
But let a woman in your life
And patience hasn't got a chance
She will beg you for advice
Your reply will be concise
And she'll listen very nicely
Then go off and do precisely what she wants
You were a man of grace and polish
Who never spoke about a hush
Now all at once you're using language
That would make a sailor blush
Oh, let a woman in your life
And you are plunging in the knife
Let the others of my sex
