Billy Preston - I Wrote A Simple Song lyrics

rate me

I wrote a simple song<br />

With simple words and harmony<br />

Wasn't very long<br />

Before a star, I was bound to be<br />

<br />

I didn't care if it made the charts<br />

I only wrote it for you and me<br />

They think they're so smart now<br />

They're not as smart as they want to be<br />

<br />

They took my simple song, yes, they did<br />

They changed the words and the melody<br />

Made it all sound wrong, yeah<br />

Now it sounds like a symphony<br />

<br />

Who told them to mess with my?<br />

Oh, now, who gave them the right?<br />

I wanna know now, that song was personal<br />

Because I wrote it for you, it's yours and mine, girl<br />

<br />

I don't care if it makes the charts y'all, no<br />

I only wrote it for you and me<br />

They think they're so smart, yes they do<br />

They're not as smart as they want to be<br />

<br />

Who told them to mess with my?<br />

Oh, now, who gave them the right?<br />

I wanna know that song was personal<br />

I wrote it for you, it's yours and mine<br />

Yeah, yeah
