Don't ask me to move a mountain
Don't ask me to swim your sea
Don't think that I am a tower of strength

Don't lean too much on me

When looking to the future

Don't build your dreams too high
I beg you to remember
I'm just an ordinary guy


I ain't no miracle worker
I do the best that I can

I ain't no miracle worker
Oh Lord I ain't no miracle man


And I don't have a fortune
You know I sweat for each dime I make
But I'm always living now just looking

To that get love you bring

Every day I keep on trying

To do my best for you
And every trying just ain't enough baby


Well tell me what would you have me do

I ain't no miracle worker

I do the best that I can
I ain't no miracle worker
Oh Lord I ain't no miracle man


Ask me to be tender
Ask me to be truth

Ask me for all the love I have
And girl I'll give it all to you


But girl I just can't offer
No storybook romance
Girl that's what you're looking for baby

I tell you we just don't have a chance

I ain't no miracle worker

I do the best that I can
I ain't no miracle worker
Oh Lord I'm not a miracle man
