Mortal .
I know I ’ m simply normal , Just a mere mortal .
I know I ’ m not as beautiful Or as gorgeous as the rest ,
But I know that I ’ d Spend all my time
Getting ready to look my best
And make sure you ’ d be proud to have me
On your arm .
I know I ’ m simply normal ,
Just a mere mortal .
I know I ’ m not thin , and I know I ’ m not a size two ,
But I know I ’ d give you A great big hug When you ’ d need one .
I know I ’ m simply normal ,
Just a mere mortal .
I know I can ’ t run fast , Or jump high ,
But if you ever called out for help ,
I ’ d jump fences and run fields
To make sure you were safe .
I know I ’ m simply normal , Just a mere mortal ,
I know I ’ m not so confident , and I know I don ’ t have a high self-esteem Most of the time ,
But I know I ’ d make sure
You ’ d never feel the same way I do ,
And I ’ d love , take care and put you Before myself .
I know I ’ m simply normal , Just a mere mortal .
But I know that If you asked for a star ,
I ’ d give you a constellation .
If you asked for a river , I ’ d give you the ocean .
I know that I would give you my all ,
But you won ’ t even give me a chance .
I hope one day
You ’ ll give me flowers on Valentine ’ s Day
And say “ I love you .”
And not on my grave
And say , “ I wish I had the chance
To love you .”
I hope you don ’ t realize this too late , Because I ’ m just a mere Mortal .
