Keep It Simple

I try to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

I try to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

On a fall day

You would ask me

For my love

My friend

You said that I could trust you

Yeah you said you're gonna be my man

Ooh but one lie

Led to another

And I know that I lied myself

You see, one lie

Leads to another lie

But how many men do our lies kill?

I try to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

I try to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

C'mon

Well give me your excuses

Lord knows I heard them all

So has your momma and the F.B.I.

And they're both listenin' through the wall

They say one lie

Leads to another

I told it to the policeman

He said: "One lie leads to another lie

"But how many lies kill how many men?"

I try to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

I try to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

What part of love

Don't you understand?

Say, what part of love

Don't you understand?

Some folks say

"Man, take it easy"

Some folks say

"Man, take a walk"

Well, maybe I'll take myself

On down to the river

And throw myself off the dock

When you

See my body floatin' on by

You can

Throw me down a wreath

Then you can send my bleedin' heart off the Washington

Attention: Commander In Chief

Woo!

I try to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

I try to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

Said I try to...

Keep it simple...

So you would...

Understand...

Said the only thing worse in the whole wide world is

another solid man

Said the only thing worse in the god damn world would

be another quiet man

You know I try to keep it simple

I give you all the love that I can
