She is a mystery What a sight to see Just an ordinary girl She is like no one else So far beyond our help Just an ordinary girl She packed her bags one summer day And in the bright light walked away Just an ordinary girl She said, There must be more than this Then solemnly blew one last kiss Just an ordinary girl But sweet dreams were never meant to be She turned away one minute, all her dreams, they vanished with it She is drowning in a sea of possibilities Leaving her so ordinary She headed for L.A. She thought she'd write a screenplay Just an ordinary girl She sucked the marrow out of life Down at the go-go bar each night Just an ordinary girl She wanted all her demons gone She started drinking all alone When she got home at 6 am Callin' up long forgotten friends She said, I love you so much, Man, What happened to all of our plans?
