I'm Still A Simple Man
Fantastic Plastic Machine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The world grows older every day,
Take the light before it fades,
But some things never seem to change,
For instance, love and domain,

Someone may prefer to stay,
Someone else prefers to fly away,
I prefer to be inward with you,
In same place.

Please lady, stay
I'll find you a perfect mate
If you're going a while
You don't have to wait

But love is divine
If you wait, that's fine
Candy and wine
Simple poetry

I'm not gonna change

I want to hold to you in my arms,
I want to feel you so close to me,
I want to look into your eyes
I want to see what you see,

I would like to kiss your lips
I would like to feel your tender cheek
I would like to have you,
Take my breath away

People today
Will convert to love
All are afraid,
Even broken hearted

No matter how, love may step away
I'm here to tell you
I'm not gonna change
I'm not gonna change

I'm a simple man,
Even today
I'm still a simple man

My love song is a song for you,
It comes from deep in my heart and soul
The melody inspired by you,
Can make me so happy

(scatting)

These are not just empty words;
I am really deep in love with you.
So I hope you feel the magic
Of my song

This is no song about a one-night stand
Soulless and empty
Bringing loneliness
No matter how even time may slip away.

I'm here to tell you
I'm not gonna change
I'm not gonna change

I'm a simple man,
Even today
I'm still a simple man

Even today
I'm still a simple man

Even today
I'm a simple man
