lyrics

I got a flat down in East LA
You want a penthouse view
You know a cat who's making a movie
Your friends are getting jealous too
You're gonna sign a million dollar contract
Then all of your dreams can transpire
I could make you more than satisfied
But it ain't exactly your desire

Blue as any samba sky
the passion in those starlit eyes
never once gave me a try
average kind of guy
Oh I'm blue as any samba sky
the passion in those starlit eyes
never once gave me a try
You want no average kind of guy
You want no average kind of guy

You drive a Maserati on Sunday
or call up a stretch limousine
When you get invited to high class parties
I can't get much more than a sports bar scene
Paparazzi cameras snapping your picture
Caught you again on the beach
Climbing aboard your carnival cruiser
I know you're out of my reach

I'm blue as any samba sky
the passion in those starlit eyes
never once gave me a try
average kind of guy
Oh I'm blue as any samba sky
the passion in those starlit eyes
never once gave me a try
You want no average kind of guy
You want no average kind of guy

If I found fame and fortune
Maybe I'd stop and wonder why
I could stay satisfied just being an average guy

Baby I'm blue
Blue as a samba sky
Baby I'm blue
Blue as a samba sky

I'm blue as any samba sky
the passion in those starlit eyes
never once gave me a try
average kind of guy
Oh I'm blue as any samba sky
the passion in those starlit eyes
never once gave me a try
You want no average kind of guy
You want no average kind of guy
