Lyrics of I am a simple man

I don’t know why you want to start with me,
I ain’t n-nothing far as i can see
And i’m worn out from working too hard,
Why don’t you give me a break
I know that lately things ain’t been so good,
I’ll make it up just like i told you i would
But i’m tired and i want to sit down,
To ease this old backache

You say your having trouble figuring me,
I don’t believe i’m such a mystery
Mmm baby what you get is what you see,
I am a simple man
I want a job and a piece of land,
Three squares in my frying pan
Don’t seem so hard for me to understand,
I am a simple man

You say we got some things to talk about,
A lot of problems that we need to work out
But we just wind up fighting why don’t you give it a rest
I don’t know what else i can say to you,
I’m doing everything i know to do

And i can’t give you anything more when i’m giving my best

You say your having trouble figuring me,
I don’t believe i’m such a mystery
Mmm baby what you get is what you see,
I am a simple man
I want a job and a piece of land,
Three squares in my frying pan
Don’t seem so hard for me to understand,
I am a simple man

I want a place i can lay my head,
Soft woman and a warm bed
A little time off before i’m dead,
I am a simple man

You say your having trouble figuring me,
I don’t believe i’m such a mystery
Mmm baby what you get is what you see,
I am a simple man
I want a job and a piece of land,
Three squares in my frying pan
Don’t seem so hard for me to understand,
I am a simple man
