Linda Ronstadt - Simple Man Simple Dream Lyrics

What if I fall in love with you

Just like normal people do

Well maybe I'd kill you

Or maybe I'd be true



When I go down to get a job sometime

It seems people can read my mind

And make money disappear

While they're talking sweet and kind



Well in some ways I am like a child

You never seemed to know it

And if a kind word ever crossed your mind

You never tried to show it



Well in some ways I am like a child

You never seemed to know it

And if a kind word ever crossed your mind

You never tried to show it



When people don't know what you mean

They may laugh at you and call you green

They'll say your words are stupid

And your plans are only schemes



Truth is simple

But seldom ever seen

Let nothing come between

Simple man, simple dream
