The Simple Things

Saw an old friend yesterday 
Who's a big success 
Got a Bentley and a Rolex 
And a Gucci dress 
Got the guys all lined up waitin 
For her to pull their string 
And she told me all about 
Her latest hot sweet thing 

She's got everything a girl could ever want or need 
All that money can afford 
But there's still a voice inside that keeps crying out 
For something more 

CHORUS 
Something emotional 
Something that's beautiful 
Something that stands the test of time 
Why are the simple things so hard to find 
Something emotional 
Something that's wonderful 
Something that lifts us high above 
Here we are waiting to be saved by love 

Just to wake up in the morning 
To a familiar face 
Conversation over coffee 
To start my day 
I pick up the phone 
And dial to see if mum's around 
Wouldn't mind just droppin by 
For a visit now 

I could travel round the world, write my name in the sky 
Make my dreams come true 
But it wouldn't mean a thing if I didn't know that I 
Could come home to 

CHORUS 
Something emotional 
Something that's beautiful 
Something that stands the test of time 
Why are the simple things so hard to find 
Something emotional 
Something that's wonderful 
Something that lifts us high above 
Here we are waiting to be saved by love
