I Wrote a Simple Song
I wrote a simple song
With simple words and melody
Wasn't very long
Before a star, I was bound to be
I didn't care if it made the charts y'all
I only wrote it for you and me
They think they're so smart now
They're not as smart as they want to be
They took my simple song, yes, they did
They changed the words and melody
Made it all sound wrong
Now it sounds like a symphony
I wrote a simple song
With simple words and melody
Wasn't very long
Before a star, I was bound to be
I didn't care if it made the charts now
I only wrote it for you and me
They think they're so smart now
But they're not as smart as they want to be
They took my simple song, yes, they did
They changed the words and melody
Made it all sound wrong
Now it sounds like a symphony
Who told them to mess with my song
What gave them the right
That song was personal
Because I wrote it for you
It's yours and mine
Who told them to mess with my song
What gave them the right, I wanna know now y'all!
That song was personal
Because I wrote it for you
It's yours and mine
With simple words and melody
Wasn't very long
Before a star, I was bound to be
I didn't care if it made the charts y'all
I only wrote it for you and me
They think they're so smart now
They're not as smart as they want to be
They took my simple song, yes, they did
They changed the words and melody
Made it all sound wrong
Now it sounds like a symphony
I wrote a simple song
With simple words and melody
Wasn't very long
Before a star, I was bound to be
I didn't care if it made the charts now
I only wrote it for you and me
They think they're so smart now
But they're not as smart as they want to be
They took my simple song, yes, they did
They changed the words and melody
Made it all sound wrong
Now it sounds like a symphony
Who told them to mess with my song
What gave them the right
That song was personal
Because I wrote it for you
It's yours and mine
Who told them to mess with my song
What gave them the right, I wanna know now y'all!
That song was personal
Because I wrote it for you
It's yours and mine
