Ordinary Girl lyrics

How will i know when someone loves me
How will i know if there`s no one else
I`m dyin` to have someone who`ll love me
But i want them to love me for myself

I looked for love in all the wrong places
I searched the moon and the stars
Found myself lost in a world of faces
The place i didn`t look was my heart

I`ve been all around the world
Trying to find something new
Lord knows that something was you
`cause i found in myself
The one thing that`s true
All i want is an ordinary girl
All i need is an ordinary girl

I just want someone i can talk to
Someone i can lean on now and then
I don`t wanna lie, and pretend i`m someone else
I`m just lookin` for a friend

My heart was going through so many changes
I didn`t know which way to turn
Just when i thought i had all of the answers
I found i still had so much to learn

Hook

I just want to feel lost in love forever
I want to see that look in your eyes
I hope that you`ll understand what i`m saying, baby
`cause girl, i need you right by my side

Hook

Someone to love me

Spoken:
You know i`ve been all around the world
Trying to find someone new
You know at the end of my search
That someone was you
And i found in my heart
There can be no one but you

All i need is an ordinary girl

Your love my love
You know heaven sent you from above
Ordinary girl
You`re the best thing in my life
Oh, oh girl
