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.
