| I try every way I know to tell you
|
| I run down all my clever ways
|
| Every smart, forever phrase
|
| How’m I gonig get a
|
| Hack out another love letter
|
| But you deserve better babe
|
| The hardest thing for me
|
| Is true simplicity
|
| But it’s the only thing
|
| That’s good enough for you
|
| Every day I wake up later
|
| I’m afraid to face the sun
|
| I want to hide from everyone
|
| Memory is bitter
|
| Tell myself I’m no quitter
|
| But the gold no longer glitters babe
|
| The hardest thing for me
|
| Is true simplicity
|
| But it’s the only thing
|
| That’s good enough for you
|
| Blood in a bucket
|
| No rhyme, mainline, sunshine
|
| And it’s the nearest
|
| This boy’s been to joy
|
| And I do believe
|
| I shall believe
|
| I shall be free
|
| On the day you say you need me
|
| Need me
|
| Need me
|
| Yeah. |
| .
|
| I push the doorknob to the booze
|
| I might try out for the blues
|
| Aching and lonely
|
| What does it take to telephone me?
|
| I’m much too close to breaking
|
| But I do believe
|
| I shall believe
|
| I shall be free
|
| On the day you say you need me
|
| Need me
|
| Need me
|
| Yeah. |
| .
|
| The hardest thing for me
|
| Is true simplicity
|
| It’s the only thing
|
| That’s good enough for you
|
| The hardest thing for me
|
| Is true simplicity
|
| It’s the only thing
|
| That’s good enough for you
|
| Yeah, Yeah. |
