Simple
India.Arie(인디아 아리) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be or not to be or not to be undressed
To touch my hand is to feel my quest
Pure and simple lioness
Pulling heartstrings from my vest
Like Gustav Mahler, Shakespeare's laughter and the Holy Father
But all I want is a girlfriend in a dress
But all I need is pure and simpleness
All I need is pure and simpleness
Is all I want is a boyfriend in a car
To be or not to be or not to go too far
To touch my skin, to awaken in
Pure and simple lion's den
Pouring heartstrings from my pen
Like D. H. Lawrence, Shakespeare's sonnets and the falling comets
All I want is a boyfriend in a car
All I need is pure and simple love
And all I want is a boyfriend in a car
All I need is pure and simple love
All I need
All I need is your hand
To begin my life again
To be pure and simple love
Pure and simple love
All I need is love
Pure and simple love
Pure and simple love
Pure and simple love
All I need is love
All I need is love
Pure and simple love
Pure and simple love
Pure and simple love
