I was just thinking to myself this morning You know what I thought Just as helpless I really am My hair is turning grey I get a new wrinkle every day I guess I am just a mortal man Let me tell you all about it I cannot make myself live forever (Never live forever) God knows I tried I can't even make one flower grow It takes water to do that That feels God knows I tried But that hands on the clock keep ticking on by One day young, the next you're old Now listen to this Oh I thought I was such a super lover Did the best I could And from my side darling I thought you would never, never go away That's my soul disclaim And this ego of mine have been betrayed As I stared at empty walls, I found I'm no super lover at all Well, you see that's bad, bad And left him with a scar on this mortal man I'm gonna get on back to my story Now I don't know if I'll ever get to go to heaven Listen to me But you never know, even I, even I may get to go Oh lord If there's away I could go I'll leave this human skin all far down below Say goodbye, goodbye world of being a mortal man But in the mean time I'm still down here doing the best I can Shamed, shamed, shamed for being just a mortal man Can you hear me sayin'? Oh lord, guess I'm just a mortal man
