I'LL NEVER BE ANYBODY'S HERO
OR THE LEGEND OF A STORY, OR A SAINT THAT'S BOUND
FOR GLORY, NO
AND I'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO SWIM IN
MONEY
OR HOW IT FEELS NOT TO HAVE TO GO TO WORK ON
MONDAY
I'M A SIMPLE MAN, AND THAT'S OK
BUT EVEN A SIMPLE MAN WANTS TO FEEL THIS WAY

(CHORUS) LIKE THE KING OF HIS CASTLE, LIKE THE
LEADER OF THE PACK
LIKE A MAN THAT IF YOU LEFT HIM, YOU'D JUST HAVE
TO HAVE HIM BACK
LIKE A ROCK THAT YOU WOULD LEAN ON WHEN YOUR
WORLD GETS TOO ROUGH
LIKE A MAN THAT YOU WOULD STAND BESIDE WHEN HE'S
NOT SO TOUGH
BUT EVEN IF THAT'S NOT THE MAN YOU SEE
THEN JUST LOVE ME
JUST LOVE ME

I'LL NEVER WRITE A SONG THAT LASTS FOREVER
OR A BOOK FOR ALL THE AGES, BUT I'M NOT FULL OF
EMPTY PAGES, NO
'CAUSE I GOT A SOUL, AND I USE IT FOR YEARNIN'
WITH A HEART THAT SKIPS A BEAT FOR YOU AND A
FIRE THAT KEEPS ON BURNIN'
I'M A SIMPLE MAN, YEAH THAT'S OK
BUT EVEN A SIMPLE MAN WANTS TO FEEL THIS WAY

(REPEAT CHORUS)

OH, I'M A SIMPLE MAN, AND THAT'S OK
BUT EVEN A SIMPLE MAN WANTS TO BE SWEPT AWAY,
AND FEEL

(REPEAT CHORUS)
