Written by: richard marx The worldв's greatest mystery Is love between the woman and the man Some guys are romeos Others simply do the best they can Iв'm just your average, ordinary joe Tryinв' to learn things I never knew I had to know Whatв's a man supposed to do I donв't get no kick from nine to five And Iв'm not a man who thinks itв's true Itв's a womanв's place to keep a love alive Iв've watched enough daytime tv To know my babyв's needs But sometimes I swear thatв's sheв's impossible to please She says 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 donв't know what itв's all about She says 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 Bu you never take me dancing Iв'm just your average, ordinary joe Tryinв' to learn things I never knew I had to know Chorus out
