I was born to be a simple man
Just to sing a simple song
But somebody came and cursed my life
I didn't know what I'd done wrong
Yeah I was born with a simple smile
Just a simple smile on my face
But somebody came and cursed my life
Turned that smile in hate
If you're looking for a simple song
Well I know it's hard to find
Cause somebody came and damned that song
And made me act unkind
I was born to be a simple man
I didn't know no hate
But somebody came and cursed my life
Took away all of my faith
