Me, I’m a simple man
A man of simple needs
I wish I had girl like you
To help me with my dreams
Me, I’m just a simple man
Don’t want much from life
But if I had a babe like you
You’d help me sleep at night
I wish I had a girl like you
I’d know just what to do
If I had a girl like you
I’d know just what to do
Baby, baby, baby, what you don’t understand
That you’re just driving me crazy, won’t you take my hand?
Everyday I get on my hands and knees and I beg the Lord above
To send me down a babe like you, I need someone to love
I wish I had a girl like you
I’d know just what to do
If I had a girl like you
I’d know just what to do
I need a little magic in my life!
