Well I don't say much

But I'm a man of my word

You can take what you heard and believe it

Well I don't dress up



Never been a fancy dan

Got so much dirt on my hands

I think I'm bleeding



And we came through hard times

Have each other on cold nights

Always kept the truth inside



But the best isn't always simple

Ah, but simple's always best



I got no time for the high life

No one else, I need embrace

So I'll simply say I love you

Any more would mean much less



And the best isn't always simple

Ah, but simple's always best



Well, if money talks


Then it don't say much to me

I've got more than I need

When I got you



I can walk the walk

Down that straight and narrow road

I've got peace in my soul

'Cuz I've paid my dues



And we kept our face strong

Been together when things went wrong

Found the strength to carry on



And the best isn't always simple

Ah but simple's always best



I got no time for the high life

No one else, I need embrace

So I'll simply say I love you

Any more would mean much less



And the best isn't always simple

Ah but simple's always best
