I wrote a simple song
With simple words and harmony
Wasn't very long
Before a star, I was bound to beI didn't care if it made the charts
I only wrote it for you and me
They think they're so smart now
They're not as smart as they want to beThey took my simple song, yes, they did
They changed the words and the melody
Made it all sound wrong, yeah
Now it sounds like a symphonyWho told them to mess with my
Oh, now, who gave them the right
I wanna know now
That song was personalBecause I wrote it for you
It's yours and mine, girlI don't care if it
Makes the charts, y'all, no
I only wrote it for you and meThey think they're so smart
Yes, they do
They're not as smart
As they want to beWho told them to mess with my
Oh, now, who gave them the right
I wanna know
That song was personalWhoa, I wrote it for you
It's yours and mineYeah, yeah, oh, oh
