Simple Man

(álbum: Understanding - 1972)

Every thing's simple, ha, 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 everyday life, I work a hard job every night
And I come home straight to my wife, bring her lot of pay
Don't mind working everyday, it's my right

Ah, uh, you see, I don't put down a man, I work for better hand
'Cause I know I'm doing the best I can

I'm a simple man, everyday people, alright
Now listen to me, when it come to my music, music, music, music
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 doesn't groove

Now listen to me, you have got to get a thing, yeah
That you like to do, if you do me, good lord, I'm gonna do you
Hang on in there, hang on in there, we'd only wanna [?]

But we stand just as tall and I have started too late
They're going out and having a ball
Everyday people, everyday people, got to, got to, got to, my

Like if a roof caved in you might as well forget it
I take like for what it is, I wanna hear you dig it
I don't believe in volumes, 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

There's something that you gonna do but you won't do
Try to understand me, I'm trying to understand you, yeah

Get on down, get on, get on, get on, get on, get on down
Got to, got to, got to, got to, tease me, got to, please me
Baby, good lord, baby

Ah, we can work it out, ah, we can work it out without a doubt
Ah, we can work it out, ah, we can work it out

And lets get the thing together and lets get the thing together
Hang on in there, hang on in there
