| 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 |
