Simple Things
Alien Beat Club Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want you to apologize
For being the way you are
Cause I know to many other guys
I know just how the play, yeah
I can see it when I look in your eyes
There's a different side to you
So come over here, you aint got a thing to prove
I want some real good love and a little respect from you
I need you to stand by me, whatever I choose to do
I like your house and your cars,
And you giving me diamond rings, yeah yeah
But all that I really need are these simple things

See you know I've come to realize
That it's all on the inside
I aint even trying to moralize
I like beautiful things too

People act like they don't care about it
But still are all about cars and credit cards and what comes with it.
It's all in your head, it's all in your head
Come over here, you aint got a thing to prove

I want some real good love and a little respect from you
I need you to stand by me, whatever I choose to do
I like your house and your cars,
And you giving me diamond rings, yeah yeah
But all that I really need are these simple things

If you play you're cards right then I'm gon need to get it on, get it on.
You don't need to impress me girl, just get up and come along, come along.
Don't sit there, do what you came to do.
Baby I'm floating up to you.
You know, you know, you know what I want from you.

I want some real good love and a little respect from you
I need you to stand by me, whatever I choose to do
I like your house and your cars,
And you giving me diamond rings, yeah yeah
But all that I really need are these simple things

I want some real good love and a little respect from you
I need you to stand by me, whatever I choose to do
I like your house and your cars,




And you giving me diamond rings, yeah yeah
But all that I really need are these simple things

Overall Meaning

The song "Simple Things" by Alien Beat Club tackles the concept of materialism in relationships. The singer emphasizes that she doesn't want her partner to apologize for their wealth or possessions, but she also doesn't want them to use those things to prove their worth to her. She sees through the facade and wants to be loved just for who she is, with a little respect and support. It's not about the cars, the diamond rings or anything else. It's about the simple things, the important things that we often overlook when we get blinded by material possessions.


The lyrics highlight that what truly matters is what's inside, and people shouldn't be judged solely by their financial status or the things they own. This contrasts with the prevailing societal norms that promote vanity and superficiality, where people are often defined by their assets rather than their character. The chorus emphasizes this point, stating that all that really matters are the simple things in life.
