Lyrics

Everything's simple, ha
It's bound to catch on quick
And if you hang around, hang around
You know you can't resist
I'm a simple man
Livin' everyday life
I work a hard job every night
And I come home straight to my wife
Bring her lot of pay
Don't mind working every day
It's my right
You see
I don't put down a man
I work for better hand
'Cause I know I'm doin' the best I can
I'm a simple man
Everyday people
Alright, now listen to me
When it come to my music, music, music, music
Got to be simple but funky
I got to
I got to
Everybody get down
Everybody get down
Got to, got to, got to move
If the feelin' doesn't groove
Now listen to me
You have gotta get a thing, yeah
That you like to do
If you do me, good Lord, I'm gonna do you
Hang on in there
Hang on in there
We don't live on a hill
But we'd stand just as tall
And I have started too late
They're going out and havin' a ball
Everyday people
Everyday people
Got to, got to, got to, my
Like if a roof caved in
You might as well forget it
I take life for what it is
I wonder, can you dig it?
I don't believe in bargains
I don't believe in deals
I don't put down a man, I don't put down a man
For the way he feels
Got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to
There's somethin'
That you gonna do but you won't do
Try to understand me
I'm tryin' to understand you, yeah
Get on down
Get on, get on, get on, get on, get on down
Got to, got to
Got to, got to tease me, got to please me
Baby, good Lord, baby
Ah, we can work it out
Ah, we can work it out
Without a doubt
Ah, we can work it out
Ah, we can work it out
And let's get the thing together
And let's get the thing together
Hang on in there
Hang on in there
