artist: katy perry

song: simple

you re such a poet

i wish i could be wesley willis

my words would flow like honey

sweet and laid on thick

you re so edgy

you don t even need a rhyming dictionary

i wipe my hands on your jeans

cause they are more distressed

so they say you ve got a cd

and they claim you can barely read

but you say don t bother me with all of your reality

but it could be so simple

(you were thinking)

life should be that simple

(who would have thought it)

i wish it were just so simple

(don t know what you were thinking)

but the point s been missed

you ve made a mess

who would have guessed

that it s as simple as it seems

so what, you re a genius

but you ve got a lot to learn

like the time you lost your apartment

cause you bought too much vuitton

you park in a loading zone

you sleep with the lights all on

you cross your i s and dot your t s

all it goes to show

that it could be so simple

(you were thinking)

life should be that simple

(who would have thought it)

i wish it were just that simple

(don t know what you were thinking)

the point s been missed

we ve made a mess

who would have guessed

that it s as simple as it seems

i m not saying that it s a piece of cake

just take a moment to reevaluate

the possibilities

the situations

the opportunities

that are waiting

oh, the possibilities

oh, i

it could, it could be that simple

(you were thinking)

life should be that simple

(who would have thought it)

i wish it were just so simple

(don t know what you were thinking)

you re in a haze

it s just a phase

you know this maze

is as simple as it seems

we could talk all day

about your eccentricities

what i mean to say

oh, is that i need you listen please

and focus on life s simplicities

so don t be afraid to strip it away

cause at the end of the day

it s still as simple as it seems

it is all so simple

just .....deal with
