The world's greatest mystery
Love between the woman and the man
Some guys are Romeos
Others simply do the best they can

I'm just your average
Ordinary Joe
Tryin' to learn things I never knew
I had to know

What's a man supposed to do?
I don't get no kick from nine to five
And I'm not a man who thinks it's true
It's a woman's place to keep a love alive

Watched enough daytime TV
To know my baby's needs
Sometimes I swear that
She's impossible to please

She says, give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing
You give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing

Really think I do a lot to show
How I feel about her in my way
Roses on our anniversary
Candlelight and me on her birthday

Just when I thought that
I had it all worked out
Now she says
I still don't know what it's all about

She says, give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing
You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, baby
But you never take me dancing

I'm just your average
Ordinary Joe
Tryin' to learn things I never knew
I had to know

Give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing
You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, baby
But you never take me dancing

She say, give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing
You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, baby
But you never take me dancing

Take me dancing
Well, it's a lie
