Simple
Right Said Fred Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The film we saw and loved
The cab that never showed
The moon that walked us home
Tell me that you care
Let me know you're mine
Ain't it those simple things
That make love a joy to live
The pleasure they bring
Just the thrill they bring
Just the thrill it is to give
Emotions will sing
With just those simple things
The light upon your hair
The touch of your skin
This cotton cave we're in
Tell me that you care
Let me know you're mine
Ain't it those simple things
That make love a joy to live
The pleasure they bring
Just the thrill they bring
Just the thrill it is to give
Emotions will sing
With just those simple things
Tell me that you care
Let me know you're mine
Ain't it those simple things
That make love a joy to live
The pleasure they bring
Just the thrill they bring
Just the thrill it is to give
Emotions will sing




With just those simple things
Those simple things

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Right Said Fred's song "Those Simple Things" celebrate the beauty and power of small gestures in a relationship. The singer reflects on moments that might seem insignificant, such as a favorite movie, a missed cab ride, or a moonlit walk home, and finds meaning and joy in them because they were experienced with the person they love. By reminding their partner of these little moments, the singer is seeking reassurance and affection, asking them to "tell me that you care" and "let me know you're mine." The chorus emphasizes the importance of appreciating these simple pleasures, which can make love "a joy to live."


The song's sentiment is simple and universal, but it is also nuanced in the way it portrays the emotional needs of the singer. They are not necessarily asking for grand romantic gestures or material gifts; rather, they seek the comfort and connection that comes from shared experiences and intimacy. The inclusion of sensory details like "the light upon your hair" and "the touch of your skin" highlight the physical and emotional sensation of being close to someone, further underscoring the theme of finding joy in the little things.

Lupus Driver

Film, który widzieliśmy i pokochaliśmy
Taryfa, która nigdy się nie pojawiła
Księżyc, który odprowadzał nas do domu

Powiedz mi, że Ci zależy
Daj mi znać, że jesteś moja
Czy to nie te proste sprawy
Które sprawiają, że miłość to radość życia
Rozkosz, którą przynoszą
Ten dreszcz,który przynoszą
Ten dreszcz emocji, który daje
Emocje będą śpiewać
Z tymi prostymi rzeczami

Światło na Twych włosach
Dotyk Twojej skóry
Bawełniana jaskinia, w której jesteśmy

Powiedz mi, że Ci zależy
Daj mi znać, że jesteś moja
Czy to nie te proste sprawy
Które sprawiają, że miłość to radość życia
Rozkosz, którą przynoszą
Ten dreszcz,który przynoszą
Ten dreszcz emocji, który daje
Emocje będą śpiewać
Z tymi prostymi rzeczami

Powiedz mi, że Ci zależy
Daj mi znać, że jesteś moja
Czy to nie te proste sprawy
Które sprawiają, że miłość to radość życia
Rozkosz, którą przynoszą
Ten dreszcz,który przynoszą
Ten dreszcz emocji, który daje
Emocje będą śpiewać
Z tymi prostymi rzeczami

Tymi prostymi rzeczami...
