simple kind of life

For a long time I was in love,
Not only a 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 the simple things
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
I always was the one with all the love
You came along, I’m hunting you down.

Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight
And all I wanted was the simple things,
A simple kind of life.

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 those 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.

No Doubt.
