來自 John Legend 2004 年推出《Get Lifted》專輯的大熱作品《Ordinary People》- 一首我很喜歡的作品，尤其是在格林美頒獎典禮中看到他自彈自唱的演繹，更令我驚嘆 John Legend 的音樂造藝。
近日不斷聽這張《Get Lifted》專輯，John Legend 帶點沙啞的聲線完全襯托出 Soul 及 R&B 音樂的自由奔放感覺，大碟內的所有歌曲都很耐聽，也難怪這張專輯在推出後有不錯的口碑，更令他以新人之姿奪得多個格林美重要獎項。
要選碟內我最喜歡的歌曲，除了這首《Ordinary People》外，Soul 味十足的《Let’s Get Lifted Again》也是我的心頭好。
Ordinary People
Girl im in love with you
This ain’t the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday
[Bridge]
I know i misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we’ll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow
[Chorus]
We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
Cuz we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow
[Verse 2]
This ain’t a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya’ll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it’s heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss then we make up on the way
[Bridge]
I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it’s not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay
[Chorus]
We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
Cuz we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow
[Verse 3]
Take it slow
Maybe we’ll live and learn
Maybe we’ll crash and burn
Maybe you’ll stay, maybe you’ll leave,
maybe you’ll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won’t survive
But maybe we’ll grow
We never know baby youuuu and I
[Chorus]
We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
Cuz we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Heyyy)
We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
Cuz we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we’ll take it slow
