Simple Things (Work It Out)

Man, whatcha' doin'?

Yeah, once life was simple
You just got up, and ate
You found someone you wanted
It was great

Now, things are complicated
You got bills to pay
You've gotta go to school
You've gotta work everyday

Well, that's hard

Sometimes I wanna check into a hospital, yeah
So they can help me breathe
Yeah, hook my heart up to one of them machines
We don't have to do anything
Just open our eyes
But man, but man, even that's hard sometimes

You know why?
I'll tell you why
Yeah this is why
I'm 'gonna tell you

Simple things are hard for me to do
Simple things are hard, without you
Simple things are hard for me to do
Simple things are hard for me

I'm strugglin' every day
To make sense of this reality
I'm strugglin', I know
I just don't like
I just don't like being alone

Life's so simple now
You've got computers to do everything
They've got robots to serve you food
And machines that sing
We don't have to do anything
Just open our eyes
But man, but man
Even that's hard sometimes

I need somebody
To come over to my house
I need somebody
I need somebody to, help me out
'Cus I can't do it alone
Even this easy stuff
Yeah, I can't do it alone
Yeah, I've had enough

Easy things are hard for me to do, yeah
Simple things are hard, without you
Without you

A hundred times a day I wanna call you up
'Cus I saw something nice, in a shot
A hundred times a day, I try to call your name
Then I realize that I'm alone to complain

I like simple things
They're hard to do
I like simple things
They're hard to do

(I like simple things)
I try to stay away
(They're hard to do)
I know it's over between you and me
(I like simple things)
But, it's so hard sometimes
(They're hard to do)
Not to dial your number
(I like simple things)
Miss you so much
What happened to the time?
(They're hard to do)
I see something that I know you would love
I wanna tell you about it
(I like simple things)
I just wanna share
The experience of my life with you
(They're hard to do)
Oh, yeah, simple things are hard for me to do, yeah

I like simple things
WORK IT OUT
