Simple As That Lyrics


You go to work, work hard all day
At the end of the week, you collect your pay
That's just where it's at
It's as simple as thatYou pay your bills the best that you can
But the rising cost sure hurts a family man
While the rich man gets fat
it's as simple as thatAnd the money goes so fast it ain't funnyYour mind's made up to get that house on the hill
But you just don't know if you ever will
Because you can't get the cash
It's as simple as thatCause the man from the bank, he won't give you a loan
Without putting a morgage on all that you own
A tit for a tat
It's a simple as thatAnd the money goes so fast it ain't funnyBefore you know it the kids are all grown
And married off with kids of their own
And it's all in the past
It's as simple as thatYou've reached the autumn of your life
And all that's left is you and your wife
And a dog and a cat

It's as simple as thatAnd the money goes so fast it ain't funny

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Huey Lewis & the News is a Academy Award-nominated American rock band based in San Francisco, California. Their greatest success was in the 1980s, when they were one of the most popular music acts of the decade and released several gold and platinum albums. The band is known for writing simple, light-hearted songs from a working-class perspective and typically appealed to yuppies and baby boomers.

Combining a rock (and sometimes, a blues rock) backing with harmony vocals and Lewis's voice, Huey Lewis & the News had numerous hit songs during the 1980s and early 1990s, including "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time" (both of which were featured in the film "Back to the Future"), "I Want a New Drug", "Doin' It All (For My Baby)", "Do You Believe in Love?" "Hip to Be Square", "Stuck With You", and "Jacob's Ladder". Huey Lewis shared three Grammy awards, an American Music Award, and a People's Choice Award along with several artists for his role singing the 1985 charity song "We Are the World".

The track 'Hip to Be Square" features prominently in the 2000 movie "American Psycho", starring Christian Bale as serial killer Patrick Bateman. In both the film and the book it was based on, Bateman is a hardcore fan of the band.
