A Simple Man

I only got one pair of shirt And this old jeans I got on And I don’t have that much money I lost my job and my saving is gone I don’t have a big mansion High up on a hill With a Jacuzzi I live in a one bedroom apartment And my fridge is almost empty I do not have a nice fancy car To drive you all around town But I got an old guitar I can write you a sweet love song But I do have love And my heart is warm If you are looking for true love Then I’m the one I think you are so beautiful A beauty that time can’t erase And if you give me a chance I will love you for the rest of my days All I have is my love That I have confessed to you And if you don’t want me around Then like a river I’ll keep moving along If you like to lie on the grass Watching the stars in the night And if the wind blows cold i will pull you close and hug you tight Love is all beautiful things It’s for the rich and poor I’m just a simple man Bringing love at your door Love isn't about money But money can rent it for while And not all happy faces Carries a genuine smile I think you are so beautiful And I will give my life for you I’m just a simple man With a hole in his shoe And if you got out with me It won’t be to a seven star restaurant There is a little mom and pops diner With some table and chairs in the front And after will walk under the moonlight With cherry vanilla ice cream And I write you a sweet love song That I would like to sing And if you hold my hands We can take a stroll for hours I save up enough money to buy Some of your favorite jasmines flowers All I can do is tell you I think you are beautiful And I’m just a simple man Wish you was my girl
