Well, back in the past, when I was treated so coldly
My love life was a darn disgrace
Needed someone to love and hold me
That's one of the reasons that I was out of place

So this is love? Well, she finally kissed me
Had me all worked up inside
I was in love, but Cupid missed me
She upped and left, and I almost died

But I was young, and I was far from lonely
I been that way for a long, long year
Needed a girl to call my one and only
Is that you?

You think you got the int'rest?
C'mon and take the time
'Cause you know I wanna be
Yours in a simple rhyme

Wow!
Hey! Hey! Hey!

Well, ain't life grand when you finally hit it?
I'm always a sucker for a real good time
Woke up in life to find I almost missed it
Ain't I glad that love is blind?
But I was young, and I was far too crazy
Been that way for a long, long time
Needed a girl, but I was just too lazy
Now that I've found you:

You think you got the int'rest?
C'mon and take the time
I'm gonna be
Yours in a simple
Rhyme, rhyme

She made the mountains sing
Birds against an icy sky
And I heard bells ringin'
I think I heard an angel sigh

She said:
"There'll be times, there will be times
You're gonna hear the angels singin'
You're gonna hear the angels sing
They'll say, 'Ah, ah, ah.'"

Ow!
Ow!
Oh, yeah!
Ow!
You think you got the int'rest?
C'mon and take the time
I'm gonna be
Yours in a simple
Rhyme, rhyme, rhyme
