I Ain't No Miracle Worker Lyrics

Don’t ask me to move a mountain
Don’t ask me to swim your sea
Don’t take that I am a tower of strength
Don’t lean too much on me

When looking to the future
Don’t build your dreams too high
I beg you to remember
I'm just an ordinary guy

I ain’t no miracle worker
I do the best that I can
I ain’t no miracle worker
Oh Lord, I ain't no miracle man

And I don't have a fortune
You know I sweat for each dime I make
But I'm always living now just looking
To that get love you bring

Every day I keep on trying
To do my best for you
And every trying just ain't enough baby
Well tell me what would you have me do

I ain't no miracle worker
I do the best that I can
I ain't no miracle worker
Oh Lord, I ain't no miracle man

Ask me to be tender
Ask me to be truth
Ask me for all the love I have
And girl, I'll give it all to you

But girl, I just can't offer
No storybook romance
Oh, that's what you're looking for, baby
I tell you, we just don't have a chance

I ain't no miracle worker
I do the best that I can
I ain't no miracle worker
Oh Lord, I ain't no miracle man.

Don’t ask me to move a mountain  
Don’t ask me to swim your sea
Don’t take that I am a tower of strength 
Don’t lean too much on me

When looking to the future  
Don’t build your dreams too high  
I beg you to remember  
I'm just an ordinary guy
 
I ain’t no miracle worker  
I do the best that I can  
I ain’t no miracle worker
Oh Lord, I ain't no miracle man 
 
And I don't have a fortune
You know I sweat for each dime I make
But I'm always living now just looking
To that get love you bring
 
Every day I keep on trying
To do my best for you
And every trying just ain't enough baby
Well tell me what would you have me do
 
I ain't no miracle worker
I do the best that I can
I ain't no miracle worker
Oh Lord, I ain't no miracle man
 
Ask me to be tender
Ask me to be truth
Ask me for all the love I have
And girl, I'll give it all to you
 
But girl, I just can't offer
No storybook romance
Oh, that's what you're looking for, baby
I tell you, we just don't have a chance
 
I ain't no miracle worker
I do the best that I can
I ain't no miracle worker
Oh Lord, I ain't no miracle man.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
