Simple Things Lyrics

Yeah, uhh

 They say money can't buy you love

 They say money can't buy you love

 They never seem to listen

 I'm all ears

 

 Just copped your girl a brand new Rolex

 But you can never find the time to spend at home

 Thinkin' it's gon' keep her happy

 When time is all she wanted all along

 

 [Chorus]

 It's the simple things in life we forget

 You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said

 Why do you make something so easy so complicated

 Searching for what's right in front of your face

 But you can't see it

 

 So you think that you know what's important

 Steady chasin' your fame and your fortune

 But you don't know

 You're chasing a dime losin' a treasure

 Those dollars don't make sense to me at all

 Ooh, it goes

 

 Duh da duh da

 You give her spending money

 Duh da duh da

 But all she wanna spend is time alone (tonight)

 Keep givin' her

 The finer things but

 But she don't really need that

 If you don't stop you're

 You're gonna end up alone (alone)

 The world without love (duh duh da duh da)

 Why would you do it

 

 [Chorus x2]

 It's the simple things in life we forget

 You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said

 Why do you make something so easy so complicated

 Searching for what's right in front of your face

 But you can't see it

 

 It's the simple things in life we forget

 You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said

 Why do you make something so easy so complicated

 Searching for what's right in front of your face

 But you can't see it (listen)

 

 Stop tryna buy her love

 'cuz you won't ever have enough

 There's always someone with more than you

 You need to pay her attention

 Give her what she needs

 Do the simple things

 Before you lose your girl to me

 Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeeah

 Yeeeah yeah

 Play on playa

 Yeah

 Your girl comin' wit' me shorty, haha

 I'm tellin' you man

 'cuz u know

 

 [Chorus]

 It's the simple things in life we forget

 You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said

 Why do you make something so easy so complicated

 Searching for what's right in front of your face

 But you can't see it

 

 You better look out

 I hear you talkin', i hear you talkin' (ha)

 But what are you saying

 Oh hoo oh hooo

 Don't be a fool

 You got a good thing

 Man are you blind

 Stupid or crazy?

 You got a good thing (uh)

 You got a good thing

 If that's your lady

 You better hold on

 And give her what she want

 Before she move on

 Man I tell you cars, clothes, and fancy things don't mean a damn thing

 If you ain't kickin it baby

 

 [Chorus]

 It's the simple things in life we forget

 You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said

 Why do you make something so easy so complicated

 Searching for whats right in front of your face

 But you can't see it

 

 [Fade]

 Don't let this be the thing you'll always regret, no

 It's right there, it's right there
