Yeah, uhh

They say money can't buy you love

They say money can't buy you love

They never seem to listen

I'm all ears

Just copped your girl a brand new Rolex

But you can never find the time to spend at home

Thinkin' that's gon' keep her happy

Your time is all she wanted all along

[Chorus]

It's the simple things in life we forget

You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said

Why do you make something so easy so complicated?

Searching for what's right in front of your face

But you can't see it

So you think that you know what's important

Steady chasin' your fame and your fortune

But you don't know

You're chasing a dime losin' a treasure

Those dollars don't make sense to me at all

Ooh, it goes

da da da da

You give her spending money

da da da da

But all she wanna spend is time alone (tonight)

Keep givin' her

The finer things but

But she don't really need that

If you don't stop you're

You're gonna end up alone (alone)

In the world without love (duh duh da duh da)

Why would you do it

[Chorus x2]

It's the simple things in life we forget

You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said

Why do you make something so easy so complicated

Searching for what's right in front of your face

But you can't see it

It's the simple things in life we forget

You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said

Why do you make something so easy so complicated

Searching for what's right in front of your face

But you can't see it (listen)

Stop tryna buy her love

'cos you won't ever have enough

There's always someone with more than you

You need to pay her attention

Give her what she needs

Do the simple thing

Before you lose your girl to me

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeeah

Yeeeah yeah

Play on playa

Yeah

Your girl comin' wit' me shorty, haha

I'm tellin' you man

'coz u know

[Chorus]

It's the simple things in life we forget

You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said

Why do you make something so easy so complicated

Searching for what's right in front of your face

But you can't see it

You better look out

I hear you talkin', i hear you talkin' (ha)

But what are you saying

Oh hoo oh hooo

Don't be a fool

You got a good thing

Man are you blind

Stupid or crazy?

You got a good thang (uh)

You got a good thang

If that's your lady

You better hold on

And give her what she wants

Before she move on

Man i'm tellin' you cars, clothes, and fancy things

don't mean a damn thang

If you ain't caking n bakin' babe

[Chorus]

It's the simple things in life we forget

You hear her talkin' but don't hear what she said

Why do you make something so easy so complicated

Searching for whats right in front of your face

But you can't see it

Don't let this be the thing

you'll always regret, no

It's right there, it's right there
