[Verse 1]

A simple no, a simple yes

A simple everything is the best

A simple what you said

Truth ain't gotta be so complicated

Just tell me that you made it

And I will be there

[Chorus]

Used to say, hey brother, glad to meet you

Hey mama, I want to meet your parents too

If there's something good

There must be a price to pay

For simple wouldn't be so bad

If you said what you meant to say

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 2]

A simple music, a simple booze

A simple "how do you do", is what I said

When everyone was like my brother

At lеast that was my plan

[Chorus]

Used to say, hey brother, glad to meet you

Hеy mama, I want to meet your parents too

If there's something good

There must be a price to pay

Simple wouldn't be so bad

If you said, said what you meant to say

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3]

A simple tone, a simple mood

I'm simply trying not to be rude

A simple place to stand

A different time, a different mind

Was the only way to get by

And I must go on

[Chorus]

Used to say, hey brother, glad to meet you

Hey mama, I want to meet your parents too

If there's something good

There must be a price to pay

Simple wouldn't be so bad

If you said what you meant to say

[Outro]

Simple wouldn't be so bad

If you said what you meant to say

Oh, oh, oh

I simply must go on
