Poetry (Live)

I am just a common man Words are not my style And you are but a common girl Ha, not by a mile The things that I would say to you If I only could But whenever I get next to you I get stiff as wood That is not what I meant to say It came out wrong It's not so easy To put your feelings in a song I may not come home tonight But at least I'll telephone And if you wanted poetry You should have read a poem A poet would compare you To a summer's day He'd say you're a flower But in a clever way Well, I am not a clever man This fact is well known And if you wanted poetry You should have read a poem No, I am not a clever man This fact's well known And if you wanted poetry You should have read a poem
