Uncomplicated
Rodney Atkins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want a woman that knows her own mind
That says whatever
Let's have a good time, have a good time

Don't live her life out of some magazine
Just a simple girl, simple dreams
Uncomplicated
One life, one love
Sounds so easy, but it's so tough
One dance only one time around

I like a truck, not too much chrome
Something kinda old
That you can still work on, still work on, and gets you back home

I take my coffee no sugar no cream
I've got a wardrobe T-shirt and jeans
Uncomplicated

One life, one love
Sounds so easy, but it's so tough
One dance only one time around

Why make it harder than it all ready is
When you can have it, have it like it is
Uncomplicated

One life, one love
Sounds so easy, but's so tough
One dance only one time around





Uncomplicated [Repeat: x4]
