Simple Things

(album: Calling All Lovers - 2015)

When I woke up this morning
I seen that look on your face
So I made you some breakfast
Eggs and some beacon on your plate
Cause I wanna talk to you
Before you walk out the door
Cause I ain't about to walk around here
And watch you stressing no more

Baby
Think about all the times you've saved me
Baby let me be here for you
Appreciate all you do
But not to the point of losing you
Cause you're working, stressing
Hustling, guessing
About how you gon' pay all these bills
But I gotta be honest
That ain't even why I'm here with you

Cause I've got everything
I've ever wanted
The day I met you baby
Cause I don't really need
All the house, cars, clothes, rings
I don't need nothing else from you
But the simple things
The simple, simple things baby, oh

You wanna take me to dinner
But you look tired as hell
But we might as well stay at home
Cause we can even enjoy ourselve
Oh, and you ain't gotta buy me no gifts baby
Not even Chanel
Cause half of these chicks in Chanel baby
Be going through pure hell, oh!

Baby
Think about all the times you've saved me
Baby let me be here for you
Appreciate everything you do
But not to the point of losing you
Cause you're working, stressing
Hustling, guessing
About how you gonna pay all these damn bills
But I gotta be honest
That ain't even why I'm here with you

Cause I've got everything
I've ever wanted
The day I met you baby
Cause I don't really need
All the house, cars, clothes, rings
I don't need nothing else from you
But the simple things
The simple, simple things baby, oh

Now, don't misunderstand me
I love me a good man
Who love to take care of his good woman
But I don't think you need to go on out here
And kill yourself over
No car, no house, no jewelry
Because at the end of the day baby
While you chasing all that
I'm really chasing you
We got lights, we got food
We got a phone, we can talk to each other
Hell we even got FaceTime I can find out where you at
And honestly, we don't need none of that
As long as we got each other
Cause that's all we really need baby

All I really need
Oh baby, oh baby!
All I really want
Is the simple things
That's what I'm talking about baby, yeah...
