I want and I need to lead a simple life I think I’ve worked out What’s wrong and what’s right The problem is, yeah the sad thing is It’s taken me most, it’s taken me most It’s taken me most of my life Taken me most of my life…………. My life! I want and I need to lead a simple life I think I’ve worked out, What’s wrong and what’s right The problem is, yes the sad thing is It’s taken me, it’s taken me, it’s taken me, It’s taken me, it’s taken me, it’s taken me, It’s taken me most of my life!
