Common Man (Album Version)

Common Man - David Ruffin

I have dreamed a dream there a common man

Ah hoping to rise to the top

I have sworn by my blood as your man my love

That one day I promise

One day your hurting would stop

But I'll never never never never change

I never change one single grain of sand

Oh thanks to you baby

For just loving a common man

I want to thank you this evening

Oh I thought

I thought that I failed you so

But that's when you turn

Around and look me in my eyes

And you let me know

You said and you said it softly

I didn't have to worry

About being a common man

You said ＂David

You don't have to worry

About rising to the top＂

You said you said

You said I didn't have to swear by my blood

But ah baby

That one day your heartaches would stop

Then you put your arms around me and you said

You never never never never cared

If I never change one single grain of sand

You said ＂I love you baby

I love you for just being a common man＂

For my gratitude just keep on growing

Yeah for recognizing me

I thank you baby

Yeah for respecting me

Yeah I want to thank you baby

For every time of need

Lord I thank you baby

Oh for my gratitude

For respecting me baby

For just being a common man

Ah I want to thank you babe

In a time of need

I want to thank you for respecting me

In a time of worry

I want to thank you for calming my troubles

Oh I thank you baby

Thank you honey

For loving a common man like me
