As a little girl she always knew That she lacked something special Her own mother reminded her constantly And the lass is now a grown woman Adult experiences confirmed what was true That she was just ordinary and dull A woman with no it factor Invisible to all before and around her She's heard and hears stories of other women Who use their wiles on hungry men 'If only I had that gift I'd feed a hundred of them' Instead she's bypassed like she's not even there Old age is catching up to her now She may as well be thin air The only ones who see her are other women But never the men she dreams of Ordinary is boring and typical Nothing exciting about this creature She might as well be dead and buried Along with any hopes of truly being seen

Just Ordinary
As a little girl she always knew That she lacked something special Her own mother reminded her constantly And the lass is now a grown woman Adult experiences confirmed what was true That she was just ordinary and dull A woman with no it factor Invisible to all before and around her She's heard and hears stories of other women Who use their wiles on hungry men 'If only I had that gift I'd feed a hundred of them' Instead she's bypassed like she's not even there Old age is catching up to her now She may as well be thin air The only ones who see her are other women But never the men she dreams of Ordinary is boring and typical Nothing exciting about this creature She might as well be dead and buried Along with any hopes of truly being seen
