1. For a long time I was in love Not only in love, I was obsessed With a friendship that no one else could touch It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells R: And all I wanted was the simple things A simple kind of life And all I needed was a simple man So I could be the wife 2. I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean I don't know how it got to this point I always was the one with all the love You came along, I'm hunting you down And all I wanted was the simple things A simple kind of life *: If we met tomorrow for the very first time Would it start all over again? Would I try to make you mine? 3. I always thought I'd be a mom Sometimes I wish for a mistake The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get R: Now all those simple things are simply too Complicated for my life How'd I get so faithful to my freedom? When all I ever wanted was the simple things A simple kind of life
