Simple Things lyrics

Oh, if you love the life you live

Then you'll get a lot more done

Be more inclined to take the reigns

And turn away and run

It's very rare, it seems, To get a lifetime guarantee

So I suppose self-satisfaction be the key

Oh, my father is a wealthy self-made man

But his wealth does not consist of riches or acres of land

And instead he has a family who are his biggest fans,

That's something that I one day hope to have

So I'll cherish the simple things,

the easy took for granted things

Like going 'round my mum's house for my tea

And argue with my sister,

only God knows how I missed her

It's the simple things that mean the most to me.

Argh, he gets up each day at five

Starts the car and makes the drive

Shutters up, starts the fryers

Serves out food to all the buyers in the town

As they stand there in the same old line

No, you never hear him grumble or groan

'Cause they're the people in the line that he built it on

And like me he cherished the simple things

the easy took for granted things

Like going round his mum's house for some tea

And argues with his sister,

Only God knows how he missed her

it's the simple things that mean the most to him.
