Average Guy Songtext
von Lou Reed

I ain′t no Christian or no born again saint
I ain't no cowboy or a Marxist DA
I ain′t no criminal or Reverend Cripple from the right
I am just your average guy, tryna do what's right

I'm just your average guy
An average guy
I am just your average guy
I′m just an average guy

Average guy, I′m just your average guy
I'm average looking and I′m average inside
I'm an average lover and I live in an average place
You wouldn′t know me if you met me face to face

I'm just your average guy
Average guy
Average guy
I′m just an average guy


I worry about money and taxes and such
I worry that my liver's big, and it hurts to the touch
I worry about my health and bowels and the crime waves in the street
I'm really just your average guy tryna stand on his own two feet

I′m just your average guy
I′m just your average guy
Uh, I'm just your average guy
Average guy

Average looks, average taste
Average height, an average waist
Average in everything I do
My temperature is 98.2

I′m just your average guy
An average guy
Average guy
I'm just your average guy
Average guy

I′m just your average guy
I'm just your average guy
I′m just your average guy
Average
