Simple Things Songtext
von Tamar Braxton

When I woke up this morning
I seen that look on your face
So I made you some breakfast
Eggs and some bacon on your plate
′Cause I wanna talk to you before you walk out the door
'Cause I ain′t about to walk around here
And watch you stressing no more

Baby, think about all the times you've saved me
Baby, let me be here for you
Appreciate all you do
But not to the point of losing you
'Cause you′re working, stressing, hustling, guessing
About how you gon′ pay all these bills
But I gotta be honest
That I ain't even why I′m here with you


'Cause I′ve got everything
I've ever wanted
The day I met you, baby (the day I met you, baby)
′Cause I don't really need, ooh-ooh
All the house, cars, clothes, rings
I don't need nothing else from you
But the simple things
The simple, simple things, baby, oh

You wanna take me to dinner
But you look tired as hell
But we might as well stay home
′Cause we can′t even enjoy ourselves
And you ain't gotta buy me no gifts, baby (no gifts)
Not even Chanel (no, no)
′Cause half of these chicks in Chanel, baby
Be going through pure hell

Oh, baby, think about all the times you've saved me
Baby, let me be here for you
Appreciate everything you do
But not to the point of losing you
′Cause you're working, stressing, hustling, guessing
About how you gonna pay all these damn bills
But I gotta be honest
That I ain′t even why I'm here with you


'Cause I′ve got everything
I′ve ever wanted
The day I met you, baby (the day I met you, baby)
'Cause I don′t really need, ooh-ooh
All the house, cars, clothes, rings
I don't need nothing else from you
But the simple things
The simple, simple things, baby, oh

Now, don′t misunderstand me
I love me a good man
Who loves to take care of his good woman
But I don't think you need to go on out here and kill yourself over no car, no house
No jewelry
Because at the end of the day, baby
While you chasing all that, I′m really chasing you

We got lights, we got food, we got a phone, we can talk to each other
Hell, we even got FaceTime, I can find out where you are
And honestly, we don't need none of that
As long as we got each other
'Cause that′s all we really need, baby

All I really need
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
All I really want
Is the simple things
That′s what I'm talking about, baby, yeah
