Simple Things

Yeah, uh

They say money can't buy your love

They say money can't buy your 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

Thinking that's gon' keep her happy

When time is all she wanted all along

It's the simple things in life we forget, uh

You hear her talking, but don't hear what she said, yeah

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, uh

Steady chasing your fame and your fortune

But you don't know you're chasing a dime, losing 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 giving 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)

In a world without love (duh duh da, duh da)

Why would you do it?

It's the simple things in life we forget, uh

You hear her talking, but don't hear what she said, yeah

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 talking, 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

'Cause 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 yeah

Yeah, yeah

Play on, playa

Yeah, your girl coming with me shorty, haha

I'm telling you, man

'Cause you know

It's the simple things in life we forget, uh

You hear her talking, but don't hear what she said, yeah

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 talking, I hear you talking, ha

But what are you saying?

Oh ho, oh ho

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'm tellin' you, cars, clothes, and fancy things don't mean a damn thing

If you ain't kicking it, baby

It's the simple things in life we forget, uh

You hear her talking, but don't hear what she said, yeah

Why do you make something so easy so complicated?

Searching for what's right in front of your face
