Simple

Take my hand, lead me up into the promised land

I will follow you, but I'm no man

For trophies, pageants, and the big band stand

I make myself a little smaller and I'm comfortable as a flower

On the wall

I know that you want to be remembered

I don't want to spend my whole life

Visible Venus on a Sunday night

Building a legacy to leave behind

I'm just happy with the simple life

Ooo-ooh, I'm simple and you are complicated

And what we need is a life we can agree on

Ooo-ohh, I'm easy and you are difficult

And it's been so hard to find a life we can agree on

I lower my face, hide my treasures

And I tolerate social graces

I drop my gaze, politician in a rebel state

I don't want to spend my whole life

Visible Venus on a Sunday night

Building a legacy to leave behind

I'm just happy with the simple life

Ooo-ooh, I'm simple and you are complicated

And what we need is a life we can agree on

Ooo-ohh, I'm easy and you are difficult

And it's been so hard to find a life we can agree on

And when I sleep at night I see

Us on our porch, us old and gray

We reminisce at night and hold

Each other, like our younger days

Ooo-ooh, I'm simple and you are complicated

And what we need is a life we can agree on

Ooo-ohh, I'm easy and you are difficult

And it's been so hard to find a life we can agree on
