Simple Man Songtext
von Bobby Womack

Everything′s simple
It's bound to catch on quick
And if you hang around, hang around
You know you can′t resist

I'm a simple man
Living every day life
I work a hard job every night
And I come home straight to my woman
Bring home my pay
Don't mind working every day
It′s my way

You see, I don′t put down a man
With a better hand
Because I know I'm doing the best I can

I′m a simple man

Every day people


All right, now listen to me
When it comes to my music, music, music, music
It's got to be simple but funky
I got to, I got to

Everybody get down
Everybody get down
Got to, got to, got to move
If the feeling is a groove

Now listen to me
Everybody got a thing
That they like to do
You do me, good God
I′m going to do you

Hang on in there
Hang on in there

We don't live on a hill
But we stand just as tall
Saturday night
We go out and have a ball
Every day people
Every day people


Like if a roof caved in
You′d might as well forget it
I take life for what it is
I wonder can you dig it

I don't believe in bargains
I don't believe in deals
I don′t put down a man
I don′t put down a man
For the way he feels

Got to, got to, got to, got to, got to
Got to, got to, got to, got to, got to
Got to, got to, got to, got to, got to

It's your thing
You′re going to do what you want to do
Try to understand me
I'm trying to understand you
Get on down
Get on, get on, get on, get on, get on down
Got to, got to
Got to, got to

Got to tease it
Got to please it
Baby, good God
Baby

We can work it out
We can work it out
Without a doubt
We can work it out
We can work it out
Let′s get the thing together
Let's get the thing together
Hang on in there
Hang on in there
