  • For a long time I was in love
    Not only in love, I was obsessed
    With a friendship that no one else could touch
    It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells

    And all I wanted was the simple things
    A simple kind of life
    And all I needed was a simple man
    So I could be a wife

    I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean
    I don't know how it got to this point
    Ooh, I always was the one with all the love
    You came along, I'm hunting you down, oh

    Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight
    Oh, and all I wanted was the simple things
    A simple kind of life

    Oh
    If we met tomorrow for the very first time
    Would it start all over again?
    Would I try to make you mine?

    I always thought I'd be a mom
    Sometimes I wish for a mistake
    The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get
    You seem like you'd be a good dad

    Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life
    How'd I get so faithful to my freedom?
    A selfish kind of life
    When all I ever wanted was the simple things
    A simple kind of life

    A simple kind of life
    A simple kind of life
    A simple kind of life
    A simple kind of life
    A simple kind of life
    A simple kind of life
    A simple kind of life
    A simple kind of life
    A simple kind of life
    A simple kind of life
    A simple kind of life
    A simple kind of life
    A simple kind of life Writer/s: Gwen Stefani
