Jimmy Jam - Simple Things lyrics

[Intro] They say money can't buy you love They say money can't buy you love They never seem to listen I'm all ears [Verse 1] Just copped your girl a brand new Rolex But you can never find the time to spend at home Thinking that's gon' keep her happy When time is all she wanted all along [Chorus] It's the simple things in life we forget You hear her talking, but don't hear what she said Why do you make something so easy so complicated? Searching for what's right in front of your face But you can't see it [Verse 2] So you think that you know what's important Steady chasing your fame and your fortune But you don't know you're chasing a dime, losing a treasure Those dollars don't make sense to me at all Ooh, it goes (duh da, duh da) You give her spending money (duh da, duh da) But all she wanna spend is time Alone (tonight) Keep giving her (the finer things, but) But she don't really need that (if you don't stop, you're) You're gonna end up alone (alone) In a world without love (duh duh da, duh da) Why would you do it? [Chorus] It's the simple things in life we forget You hear her talking, but don't hear what she said Why do you make something so easy so complicated? Searching for what's right in front of your face But you can't see it It's the simple things in life we forget You hear her talking, but don't hear what she said Why do you make something so easy so complicated? Searching for what's right in front of your face But you can't see it [Bridge] Stop trying to buy her love 'Cause you won't ever have enough There's always someone with more than you You need to pay her attention Give her what she needs Do the simple things Before you lose your girl to me [Break] Play on, playa Your girl coming with me shorty I'm telling you, man 'Cause you know... [Chorus] It's the simple things in life we forget You hear her talking, but don't hear what she said Why do you make something so easy so complicated? Searching for what's right in front of your face But you can't see it [Verse 3] You better look out I hear you talking, I hear you talking But what are you saying? Don't be a fool, you got a good thing Man, are you blind, stupid or crazy? You got a good thing You got a good thing If that's your lady, you better hold on And give her what she want before she move on Man, I tell you, cars, clothes, and fancy things don't mean a damn thing If you ain't kicking it, baby [Chorus] It's the simple things in life we forget You hear her talking, but don't hear what she said Why do you make something so easy so complicated? Searching for what's right in front of your face But you can't see it [Outro] Don't let this be the thing you'll always regret, no It's right there, it's right there...
