Normally Norma's kissing me just about this time every morning
With the wink in her eye she whispers goodbye
Then she tells me somethin' sweet and knocks me off of my feet
And normally Norma thinks of me as just as the swellest guy in the world
Oh, but normally Norma loves me

One word led to another
Over a harmless joke
Then Norma went home to her mother
I guess her little heart was broke

Oh oh, normally Norma's waitin' on me every evening when the sun goes down
When I get home from work with my dirty old shirt
She pulls off my shoes and it's a goodbye blues
Cause normally Norma tenderly cuddles up to me
But normally Norma loves me

Now one word led to another
Over a harmless joke
Then Norma went home to her mother
I guess her little heart was broke

Oh oh, normally Norma's waitin' on me every evening when the sun goes down
When I get home from work with my dirty old shirt
She pulls off my shoes and it's a goodbye blues
Cause normally Norma tenderly cuddles up to me
But normally Norma loves me
Oh, but normally Norma loves me
