Simple Words Songtext
von Joey Eppard

Watch your finger slip, you′re almost gone
Have you grown tired of holding on?

Celebrity lifestyle appeals until you peel away its skin
And see the darkness that resides there and the pain that lies within
I used to be afraid of failure, now I'm more afraid to win
I guess success ain′t just the best dressed, more like some big mess
I'd rather be where I've been

Tell me simple words, keep it easy does
Gotta put the meaning back into the place it was
Only simple words I can understand
Simple words for a simple man

I remember sitting quaking, nervous on the bus
And all the friends I wasn′t making ′cause you're not one of us
I learned you can′t rely on the bottom line and watch the top line too
'Cause somewhere in the middle someone′s got it in for you
I used to be afraid of failure, now that I've finally broken through
The little boy that you used to pick on is picking up on you


Tell me simple words, keep it easy does
Gotta put the meaning back into the place it was
Only simple words that I can understand
Simple words for a simple man
For a simple man

I used to be afraid of failure, now that I′ve finally broken through
The little boy that you used to pick on is picking up on you

Tell me simple words, keep it easy does
Gotta put the meaning back into the place it was
Only simple words I can understand
Simple words for a simple man

If I told you why, would you leave me on a dime?
(Only simple words)
If I told you when, would you talk to me again?
If I told you why, would you leave me on a dime?
(Simple words)
If I told you when, would you talk to me again?
(Tell me simple words)

If I told you why, would you leave me on a dime?
(Tell me simple words)
If I told you when, would you talk to me again?
(Only simple words)


If I told you why, would you leave me on a dime?
(Tell me simple words)
If I told you when, would you talk to me again?
(Simple words)
If I told you why, would you leave me on a dime?
(Tell me simple words)
