| 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 (x2)
|
| 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

|
| Baby if you don’t start figuring out…
|
| I’m a mediocre man

|
| I’m a mediocre man
|
| I do the very best I can |
