You´re such a poet I wish I could be Wesley Willis My words would flow like honey, sweet and laid on thick You´re so edgy
You dont even need a rhyming dictionary I wipe my hands on your jeans, ´cause they are more distressed So they say--you got O.C.D. And they claim you can barely read But you say "Don´t bother me with all of your reality"
But it could be so simple (you were thinking) Life should be that simple (Who would have thought it) I wish it were just so simple (don´t know what you were thinking) But the point´s been missed You´ve made a mess Who would have guessed That it´s as simple as it seems
So what, you´re a genius But you´ve got a lot to learn Like the time you lost your apartment Cause you bought too much Vuitton You park in a loading zone You sleep with the lights all on You cross your i´s and dot your t´s All it goes to show
That it could be so simple (you were thinking) Life should be that simple (Who would have thought it) I wish it were just that simple (don´t know what you were thinking) The point´s been missed We´ve made a mess
Who would have guessed That it´s as simple as it seems
I´m not saying that it´s a piece of cake Just take a moment to re-evaluate The possibilities The situations The opportunities That are waiting Oh, the possibilities Oh, I
It could, it could be that simple (you were thinking) Life should be that simple (Who would have thought it) I wish it were just so simple (don´t know what you were thinking)
You´re in a haze It´s just a phase You know this maze Is as simple as it seems
We could talk all day About your eccentricities What I mean to say Oh, is that I need you listen please And focus on life´s simplicities So don´t be afraid to strip it away Cause at the end of the day It´s still as simple as it seems
