Ordinary Pain

Song byStevie Wonder

in AlbumSongs In The Key Of Life

When by the phone

In vain you sit

You very soon in your mind realize that it's not just

An ordinary pain in your heart

When you by chance

Go knock on her door

Walkin' away you're convinced that it's much more

Than just an ordinary pain in your heart

It's more than just

An ordinary pain in your heart

When you catch up

But she says goodbye

Hold back your tears and before you start to cry

Say you feel unnecessary pain in your heart

Tell her you're glad

It's over in fact

Can she take with her the pain she brought you back

Takin that ordinary pain from your heart

It's more than just

An ordinary pain from your heartDon't fool yourself

But tell no one else

That it's more than just

An ordinary pain

In your heart

PART II

You're just a masachistic fool

Because you knew my love was cruel

You never listened when they said

Don't let that girl go to your head

But like a play boy you said no

ordinary pain

This little girl mind you will blow

ordinary pain

But then I blew you out the box

ordinary pain

When I put my stuff on key and lock

ordinary pain

It makes me feel kind of sick

ordinary pain

To know love put you in a trick

ordinary pain

I knew our love would have to end

ordinary pain

The day I made it with your friend

ordinary pain

Giving your love to one unreal

ordinary pain

Like a big fool I know you feel

ordinary pain

But in this lovie-dovie game

ordinary pain

With all its joy there must be pain

ordinary pain

But now the time has surely come

ordinary pain

This game don't seem like so much fun

ordinary pain

You're cryin big corcodile tears

ordinary pain

Don't match the ones I've cried for years

ordinary pain

When I was home wainting for you

ordinary pain

You were out somewhere doing the do

ordinary pain

You know I'd really like to stay

ordinary pain

But like you did I've go to play

ordinary pain

You're dumb to think I'd let you be

ordinary pain

Scott free without some pain from me

ordinary pain

I heard your song and took a chance

ordinary pain

But to your music I can't dance

ordinary pain

Go tell your story 'sob-sad'

ordinary pain

About you blowin what you had

ordinary pain

Since one ain't good enough for you

ordinary pain

Then do yourself see how you do

ordinary pain

When by the phone

In vain you sit

You very soon in your mind realize that it's not just

An ordinary pain in your heart

Than just an ordinary pain in your heart

It's more than just

An ordinary pain in your heart

When you catch up

Hold back your tears and before you start to cry

Say you feel unnecessary pain in your heart

Tell her you're glad

Can she take with her the pain she brought you back

Takin that ordinary pain from your heart

It's more than just

An ordinary pain from your heartDon't fool yourself

But tell no one else

That it's more than just

An ordinary pain

In your heart

In your heart

In your heart
