I Am a Simple Man

歌詞

I don't know why you want to start with me I ain't n-n-nothing far as I can see And I'm worn out from working too hard Why don't you give me a break? I know that lately things ain't been so good I'll make it up just like I told you I would But I'm tired and I want to sit down To ease this old backache You say you're having trouble figuring me I don't believe I'm such a mystery Mmm baby, what you get is what you see I am a simple man I want a job and a piece of land Three squares in my frying pan Don't seem so hard for me to understand I am a simple man You say we've got some things to talk about A lot of problems that we need to work out But we just wind up fighting Why don't you give it a rest? I don't know what else I can say to you I'm doing everything I know to do And I can't give you anything more When I'm giving my best You say you're having trouble figuring me I don't believe I'm such a mystery Mmm baby, what you get is what you see I am a simple man I want a job and a piece of land Three squares in my frying pan Don't seem so hard for me to understand I am a simple man I want a place I can lay my head Soft woman and a warm bed A little time off before I'm dead I am just a simple man You say you're having trouble figuring me I don't believe I'm such a mystery Mmm baby, what you get is what you see I am a simple man I want a job and a piece of land Three squares in my frying pan Don't seem so hard for me to understand I am a simple man
