i wrote a simple song
I wrote a simple song With simple words and harmony Wasn't very long Before a star, I was bound to be  I didn't care if it made the charts I only wrote it for you and me They think they're so smart now They're not as smart as they want to be   They took my simple song, yes, they did They changed the words and the melody Made it all sound wrong, yeah Now it sounds like a symphony  Who told them to mess with my Oh, now, who gave them the right I wanna know now That song was personal  Because I wrote it for you It's yours and mine, girl  I don't care if it Makes the charts, y'all, no I only wrote it for you and me  They think they're so smart Yes, they do They're not as smart As they want to be  Who told them to mess with my Oh, now, who gave them the right I wanna know That song was personal  Whoa, I wrote it for you It's yours and mine  Yeah, yeah, oh, oh
