I Ain't No Miracle Worker
Ordinary Struggles: The Hellacopters' Message in 'I Ain't No Miracle Worker'
Lyrics
Don't ask me to move a mountain
Don't expect me to accomplish impossible tasks.
Don't ask me to swim your sea
Don't expect me to navigate your challenges.
Don't think that I am a tower of strength
Don't assume I possess unwavering strength.
Don't lean too much on me
Don't rely too heavily on me for support.
When looking to the future
Caution against setting overly ambitious goals for the future.
Don't build your dreams too high
Advise against having excessively high aspirations.
I beg you to remember
Remind to consider my ordinary nature.
I'm just an ordinary guy
Highlight my status as an average individual.
I ain't no miracle worker
Assert that I don't possess miraculous abilities.
I do the best that I can
Express my commitment to doing the best within my capabilities.
I ain't no miracle worker
Reiterate that I am not a miracle worker.
Oh, Lord, I ain't no miracle man
Emphasize my human limitations.
And I don't have a fortune
Clarify my lack of substantial wealth.
You know I sweat for each dime I make
Highlight the effort I put into earning each penny.
But I'm always living now just looking
Indicate my focus on living for the love I receive.
To get that love you bring
Express the desire for the love you provide.
Every day I keep on trying
Convey a persistent effort to do my best for you daily.
To do my best for you
Reveal the continuous striving for your well-being.
And every trying just ain't enough baby
Acknowledge that effort alone may not be sufficient.
Well, tell me what would you have me do?
Seek guidance on what more can be done to meet expectations.
I ain't no miracle worker
Reiterate that I lack miraculous capabilities.
I do the best that I can
Confirm the dedication to giving my best.
I ain't no miracle worker
Emphasize once again my non-miraculous nature.
Oh, Lord, I ain't no miracle man
Invoke a sense of humility before a higher power.
Ask me to be tender
Invite requests for tenderness.
Ask me to be true
Encourage requests for truthfulness.
Ask me for all the love I have
Offer all the love I possess in response to requests.
And girl, I'll give it all to you
Pledge to give all available love to the person making requests.
But girl, I just can't offer
Admit inability to provide a fairy-tale romance.
No storybook romance
Clarify the absence of a storybook-style relationship.
Girl, if that's what you're looking for, baby
Express the lack of compatibility for such romantic expectations.
I tell you, we just don't have a chance
Indicate a slim chance of fulfilling unrealistic romantic ideals.
I ain't no miracle worker
Reiterate the absence of miraculous capabilities.
I do the best that I can
Affirm the commitment to doing the best possible.
I ain't no miracle worker
Emphasize again the lack of miraculous powers.
Oh, Lord, I'm not a miracle man
Acknowledge human limitations in contrast to miracles.
