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
