In A Simple Rhyme

Well, back in the past when I was, treated so coldly
My love life was a darn disgrace
Needed someone to love n' hold me
That's one of the reasons that I was outta place
So, this is love? Well she finally kissed me
Had me all worked up inside
I wanted love but cupid missed me
She up and left and I almost died
But I was young and I was far from lonely
I been that way for a long, long year
Needed a girl to call my one and only
Is that you?
Ya think ya got the interest?
Come on an' take the time
'Cause you know, I wanna be
Yours in a simple rhyme
Wow!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Well, ain't life grand when ya finally hit it?
I'm always a sucker for a real good time
Woke up in life, found I almost missed it
Ain't I glad that love is blind?
But I was young an' I was, far too crazy
Been that way for a long, long time
Needed a girl but I was just too lazy
Now that I've found you
Ya think ya got the interest?
Come on an' take the time
I'm gonna be, yours in a simple...
Rhyme. Rhyme
N' she made the mountains sing
Birds against an icy sky
And I heard bells ringin'
I think I heard an angel sigh
And she said, "There'll be times. There will be times."
(Ah ah) You're gonna hear the angels singin'
(Ah ah) You're gonna hear the angels sing, they'll say
(Ah ah. Ah ah. Ah ah ah)
Ow!
(Guitar Solo)
Oh!
Oh, yeah!
Ha! Ah! Yeah
Ya think ya got the interest
Come on an' take the time
I'm gonna be yours in a simple...
