She was a movie Queen in a limousine when I saw her there. But the lines 'round her eyes seemed to tell of the lies and the sad despair. It's commonly known. It's commonly known.
She invited me in and her breath smelled of Gin as she opened the door. Then I looked in her eyes and soon realized what I'd come here for.
CHORUS: I'm commonly known. I'm commonly known. As a one man mission of love that's what I am. How can I make you understand. One man mission of love is what I am. I'm gonna give you all I can.
With a tear on her face she said, "I'm locked in a race that I'm gonna lose". Then she looked in my eyes and soon realized there was still time to choose.
CHORUS: I'm commonly known. I'm commonly known. As a one man mission of love that's what I am. How can I make you understand. One man mission of love is what I am. I'm gonna give you all I can.
