Keep It Simple

I tried to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

I'll try to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

On a bald day you had asked me

For my love, my friend

You said that I could trust you

Yeah, you said, 'You're gonna be my man

One lie led to another and I know that I lied myself

You see, one lie leads to another lie but how many men do our lies kill?

I tried to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

I'll try to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

C'mon, well give me your excuses

Lord knows I heard them all

So has your Momma and the FBI

And they're both listening through the wall

They said, “One lie leads to another.

I told it to the policeman

He said,

"One lie leads to another lie but how many lies kill how many men?"

I tried to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

I'll try to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

What part of love don't you understand?

What part of love, love don't you understand? Eh!

Some folks say, 'Man take it easy!'

Some folks say, 'Man take a walk!'

Well maybe I'll take myself on down to the river

And throw myself off the dock

Well you see my body floating on by

You can throw me down a reef

Then you can send my bleeding heart off to Washington

Attention Commander-In-Chief! Wo!

I tried to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

I'll try to keep it simple so you understand

I'm giving all the love that I can

Said I'll try to keep it simple so that you would understand

The only thing worse in the whole wide world is another quiet man

Said the only thing worse in the god damn world would be another quiet man

You know,

I'll try to keep it simple

I'll give you all the love that I can
