The Simple Things

Baby, it’s the simple things 

That are truly dear to me 

Please don’t complicate my time 

Or I’ll be gone without a trace 

Trying to find my true meaning 

I listen to your empty rhetoric 

Romancing me 

Enticing me 

Trying to get to what’s sacred to me 

Unless you can open my mind 

Show me that you follow God 

We’ll be but another situation 

Not worth the words or ink 

I only want the simple things 

Complexities don’t fit me
