A SIMPLE SONG (Tom Evans)
[Tom Evans demo from "I Am Myself - Demos: 1967-1970 - recorded 1967 - released 2024]

Here's a simple story
I'll sing a simple song
I don't want no glory
Ha, oh you know that's all wrong

I'm singing a simple song for you, Honey
I hope you'll understand
But I ain't tryin' to be funny
But I want to hold your hand

It's a simple song that was made for love
And it won't be long
Just long enough

Oh, make it simple, Honey
I don't want to be tough

[solo]

Hey, you!
You gotta be listening
Gotta be listening, still
'Cause I ain't singing to myself
No, not for no cheap thrill

If I've gone into the background
And you ain't listening anymore
Listen to this:
WAAAAHHHOOOWWWWWWW!
Just woke you up for sure

It's a simple song that was made for love, yeah
And it won't be long
Just long enough

It's a simple song that was made for love
And it won't be long
Just long enough

It's a simple song, Honey
That was made for love
And it ain't got no complications
Just a simple love

I was made for you
By telling you all these things
'Cause I wanna love you
And make my love interesting

Honey, do you love me?
Have I got on to love?
Oh, I want you to tell me, please
I want you to be honest with me and be truthful
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oooh, yeah
