Ordinary Girl lyrics

How will I know when someone loves me
How will I know if theres no one else
Im dyin to have someone wholl 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 didnt look was my heart

Ive been all around the world
Trying to find something new
Lord knows that something was you
cause I found in myself
The one thing thats 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 dont wanna lie, and pretend Im someone else
Im just lookin for a friend

My heart was going through so many changes
I didnt 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 youll understand what Im saying, baby
cause girl, I need you right by my side

Hook

Someone to love me

Spoken:
You know Ive 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
Youre the best thing in my life
Oh, oh girl
