Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Truth is simple
But seldom ever seen
Let nothing come between
Simple man, simple dream
