Tems Ordinary People (cover)

According to her, she was asked to do the cover by Apple Music and it’s an honour for her, doing the iconic song from one of the world’s most revered singers.

Apple Music is marking Black freedom day and calls it the Apple Juneteenth-inspired freedom songs which is a collection of covers and originals.

And the global music streaming platform picked Tems for the cover of Ordinary People which resonated with her because of its simplicity and potency.

For her, freedom is important for every people and individual which is why when she learned of a special day put together to celebrate the freedom of Black people in the U.S, she was excited about it.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Take it slow
Oh-oh-oh, yeah

[Verse 1]
Boy, I’m in love with you
This ain’t the honeymoon
Passed the infatuation phase
Tight in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
Seems like we argue every day
I know I misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
We both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we’ll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

[Chorus]
We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
‘Cause we’re ordinary people
Maybе we should take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, this timе we’ll take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we’ll take it slow

[Verse 2]
This ain’t a movie, no
No fairytale conclusions
It gets more confusing every day, oh
Sometimes it’s Heaven sent
Then we head back to Hell again
We kiss, then we make up on the way
I hang up and you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it’s not a fantasy
I still want you

[Chorus]
We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
‘Cause we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we’ll take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, yeah, this time we’ll take it slow
Take it slow

[Verse 3]
Maybe we’ll live and learn
Maybe we’ll crash and burn
Maybe you’ll stay
Maybe you’ll leave
Maybe you’ll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won’t survive
Maybe we’ll grow
We’ll never know
Baby, you and I

[Chorus]
We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go
‘Cause we’re ordinary people, mmm
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we’ll take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we’ll take it slow
We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go, yeah
‘Cause we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we’ll take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we’ll take it slow
