This is probably my favorite Gordon song. That says a lot because I like everything he does. To me it is a song that applies to many people. Who wants to be ordinary? Who thinks of themselves as ordinary? Yet in our relationships with others we have a tendency to typecast people. He is telling the woman that he is not like everyone else but she may view him that way.
I was in high school when this song came out. It spoke volumes to me because I felt like such a misfit. On the other hand, I had no desire to be like other people. It has always been a song of encouragement to me.
