I Am A Simple Man (1991)
I don?t know why you want to start with me, I ain?t n-nothing far as I can see
And I?m worn out from working too hard, why don?t you give me a break
I know that lately things ain?t been so good, I?ll make it up just like I told you I would
But I?m tired and I want to sit down, to ease this old backache

You say your having trouble figuring me, I don?t believe I?m such a mystery
Mmm baby what you get is what you see, I am a simple man
I want a job and a piece of land, three squares in my frying pan
Don?t seem so hard for me to understand, I am a simple man

You say we got some things to talk about, a lot of problems that we need to work out
But we just wind up fighting why don?t you give it a rest
I don?t know what else I can say to you, I?m doing everything I know to do

You say your having trouble figuring me, I don?t believe I?m such a mystery
Mmm baby what you get is what you see, I am a simple man
I want a job and a piece of land, three squares in my frying pan
Don?t seem so hard for me to understand, I am a simple man

I want a place I can lay my head, soft woman and a warm bed
A little time off before I?m dead, I am a simple man

You say your having trouble figuring me, I don?t believe I?m such a mystery
Mmm baby what you get is what you see, I am a simple man
I want a job and a piece of land, three squares in my frying pan
Don?t seem so hard for me to understand, I am a simple man
