Simple Woman

(album: Watch Over Me (Early Works 2002-2009) - 2021)

And I'll like a man who's nice to me
He'll think I'm fun, he'll think I'm clean
And we'll discuss the finer things
He'll think me warm, he'll think me Queen

Oh to be a simple woman
Who tends her flowers
I don't need no special attention
No recognition, no power
I will delight in my sole company for hours
And I will not grow sour, no

And my parents will be proud of me
My brothers and sister, my family
And they'll understand the joy they bring
And finally they will see

Oh to be a simple woman
Who tends her flowers
I don't need no special attention
No recognition, no power
I will delight in my sole company for hours
And I will not grow sour, no

Even though the air smells like
The lives I'll never lead
It tears me up inside
How it destroys my peaceful sleep
Take care to check my pride
Because nothing keeps
For longer than the light
That only I may ever see

I will take deep breaths
Try to ease my mind
I will forgive myself
Know everything will be fine
Keep my motives true
And quite these addictions
I will forget the you's
That blur my vision

Oh to be a simple woman
Who tends her flowers
I don't need no special attention
No recognition, no power
I will delight in my sole company for hours
And I will not grow sour, no
