I just don't get it What does she see in him? They're nothing like we were Damn he's so small town She's such a city girl I'm absolutely sure he's not the one for her But still he gets to kiss the queen While I'm down here on my own He sits next to her like her king While I'm in the shadows He's bland, he's ordinary He's such bore but everybody knows When the curtains close
He'll be kissing his queen I'll just walk home alone He's her new everything So that makes me the Average Joe
I thought we were the real thing We were just one wedding ring short Of a once in a life time love Well, now that it's over I just don't understand How she thinks they compare to us He'll never be good enough But still he gets to kiss the queen While I'm down here on my own He sits next to her like her king While I'm in the shadows He's bland, he's ordinary He's such bore but everybody knows When the curtains close
He'll be kissing his queen I'll just walk home alone He's her new everything That makes me the Average Joe
Now I'm a punch line I'm the story that everyone knows Of how even the invisible Can become an Average Joe
No more kissing the queen I'll never sit on the throne Right next to her like her king I'm in the shadows He's bland, he's ordinary He's such bore but everybody knows When the curtains close
He'll be kissing his queen I'll just walk home alone He's her new everything That makes me the Average Joe
