If it Bmmakes you feel special thats Gfine
[Pre-Chorus]
I Gtie my own shoes the same Away you guys do
And I Bmnever leave home without glasses
I've neGver done drugs and I drAink from a mug I fBmound at a discount thrift store
[Chorus]
I'm an ADverage Joe, going wiAth the flow
There's noGthing too special about me
