Analysis of Average 2
It's usual to think you're honest
It's honest to think you're dear
It's dear to think you're candid
It's candid to think you're sincere
It's routine to think you're noble
It's noble to think you're grand
It's grand to think you're global
It's global to think you're on hand
It's common to think you're special
It's special to think you're great
It's great to think you're different
It's different to think you're first-rate
