Lyrics

The world's greatest mystery  
Is 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  
I've watched enough daytime TV  
To know my baby's needs  
But sometimes I swear that she's impossible to please  
She says  
  
[Chorus]  
You give me all that I want of your money, baby  
But you never take me dancing  
  
I 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  
  
[Chorus]  
You 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  
  
[Chorus]
