Simple kind of life
For a long time I was in loveNot only in love, I was obsessedWith a friendship that no one else could touchIt didn't work out, I'm covered in shells
And all I wanted was the simple thingsA simple kind of lifeAnd all I needed was a simple manSo I could be a wife
I'm so ashamed, I've been so meanI don't know how it got to this pointI always was the one with all the loveYou came along, I'm hunting you down
Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fightAnd all I wanted was the simple thingsA simple kind of life
If we met tomorrow for the very first timeWould it start all over again?Would I try to make you mine?
I always thought I'd be a momSometimes I wish for a mistakeThe longer that I wait the more selfish that I getYou seem like you'd be a good dad
Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my lifeHow'd I get so faithful to my freedom?A selfish kind of lifeWhen all I ever wanted was the simple thingsA simple kind of life
