Simple things


Big house
Expensive car
Clothes for wherever you go
Folks you don't even know
Treat you like a star
Good life, you got it down
But who's got your heart
So if you ain't got someone to love
You already lost 'cause

Tell me what good is having everything
If its not what you really want
You can get used to forgetting to be grateful
So be careful
I don't need no fortune, you can keep the fame
Just give me a real good woman
That is enough for me
Cause its all about the simple things

Simple things
No doubt, no doubt
We all wish that we could have it all
We like the finer things in life
But all that doesn't matter too much if there's no one
Around to share it with
Cause everybody needs somebody
But not everybody
Feels like they got the time to try to find someone

Tell me what good is having everything
If its not what you really want
You can get used to forgetting to be grateful
So be careful
I don't need no fortune, you can keep the fame
Just give me a real good woman
That is enough for me
Cause its all about the simple things

And I'm glad things are working out for you
You started from the block
To everything you got
Winning ain't easy to do
But now you find yourself at home
And you're all alone
Tell me who are you gonna call
Hey

Tell me what good is having everything
If its not what you really want
You can get used to forgetting to be grateful
So be careful
I don't need no fortune, you can keep the fame
Just give me a real good woman
That is enough for me
Cause its all about the simple things

Tell me what good is having everything
If its not what you really want
You can get used to forgetting to be grateful
So be careful
I don't need no fortune, you can keep the fame
Just give me a real good woman
That is enough for me
Cause its all about the simple things

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
