For a long time i was in love Not only in love, i was obsessed With a friendship that no one else could touch It didn't work out, i'm covered in shells And all i wanted was a simple thing A simple kind of life And all i needed was a simple man So i could be a wife I'm so ashamed, i've been so mean I don't know how it got to this point Ooh i always was the one with all the love But you came along, i'm hunting you down Like a sick domestic abuser lookin' for a fight And all i wanted was the simple things a simple kind of life Oh if we met tomorrow for the very first time Would it start all over again? Would i try to make you mine? I always thought i'd be a mom Sometimes i wish for a mistake The longer that i wait the more selfish that i get You seem like you'd be a good dad Now all the simple things are simply too complicated for my life How'd i get so faithful to my freedom? a selfish kind of life When all i ever wanted was the simple things a simple kind of life
