Lyrics: Tim Curry. Simplicity.

I try every way I know to tell you, I run down all my clever ways
Every smart forever phrase
How am I going get a heck of another love letter?
But you deserve better, babe

The hardest thing for me is true simplicity
But it's the only thing that's good enough for you

Every day I wake up later, I'm afraid to face the sun
I want to hide from everyone
Memory is bitter, tell myself I'm no quitter
But the gold no longer glitters babe

The hardest thing for me is true simplicity
But it's the only thing that's good enough for you

Blood in a bucket
No rhyme, mainline, sunshine
And it's the nearest
This boy's been to joy

And I do believe, I shall believe
I shall be free on the day you say you need me
Need me, need me, yaa

I push the doorknob to the booze
I might try out for the blues, aching and lonely
What does it take to telephone me?
I'm much too close to breaking

But I do believe, I shall believe
I shall be free on the day you say you need me
Need me, need me, yaa, yaa, yaa

The hardest thing for me, is true simplicity
It's the only thing that's good enough for you
The hardest thing for me is true simplicity
It's the only thing that's good enough for you
Yaa, yaa
