In a Simple Rhyme

Well, back in the past, when I was treated so coldly
My love life was a darn disgrace
Needed someone to love and hold me
That's one of the reasons that I was out of place

So this is love? Well, she finally kissed me
Had me all worked up inside
I was in love, but Cupid missed me
She upped and left, and I almost died

But I was young, and I was far from lonely
I been that way for a long, long year
Needed a girl to call my one and only
Is that you?

You think you got the int'rest?
C'mon and take the time
'Cause you know I wanna be
Yours in a simple rhyme

Wow!
Hey! Hey! Hey!

Well, ain't life grand when you finally hit it?
I'm always a sucker for a real good time
Woke up in life to find I almost missed it
Ain't I glad that love is blind?

But I was young, and I was far too crazy
Been that way for a long, long time
Needed a girl, but I was just too lazy
Now that I've found you:

You think you got the int'rest?
C'mon and take the time
I'm gonna be
Yours in a simple
Rhyme, rhyme

She made the mountains sing
Birds against an icy sky
And I heard bells ringin'
I think I heard an angel sigh

She said:
"There'll be times, there will be times
You're gonna hear the angels singin'
You're gonna hear the angels sing
They'll say, 'Ah, ah, ah.'"

[Guitar solo]
Ow!
Ow!
Oh, yeah!
Ow!

You think you got the int'rest?
C'mon and take the time
I'm gonna be
Yours in a simple
Rhyme, rhyme, rhyme
