Tamar Braxton
Simple Things
[Verse 1]
When I woke up this morning
I seen that look on your face
So I made you some breakfast
Eggs and some bacon on your plate
'Cause I wanna talk to you
Before you walk out the door
'Cause I ain't about to walk around here
And watch you stressing no more

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, think about all of the times you've saved me
Baby, let me be here for you
Appreciate all you do
But not to the point of losing you
'Cause you're working, stressing, hustling, guessing
About how you gon' pay all these bills
But I gotta be honest
That ain't even why I'm here with you

[Chorus]
'Cause I’ve got everything I’ve ever wanted
The day I met you, baby
'Cause I don't really need, ooh
All the house, cars, clothes, rings
I don't need nothing else from you
But the simple things
The simple, simple things, baby, oh
[Verse 2]
You wanna take me to dinner
But you look tired as hell
But we might as well stay at home
'Cause we can't even enjoy ourselves
Oh, and you ain't gotta buy me no gifts, baby
Not even Chanel
'Cause half of these chicks in Chanel, baby
Be going through pure hell, oh!

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, think about all of the times you've saved me
Baby, let me be here for you
Appreciate everything you do
But not to the point of losing you
'Cause you're working, stressing, hustling, guessing
About how you gon' pay all these damn bills
But I gotta be honest
That ain't even why I'm here with you

[Chorus]
'Cause I’ve got everything I’ve ever wanted
The day I met you, baby
'Cause I don't really need, ooh
All the house, cars, clothes, rings
I don't need nothing else from you
But the simple things
The simple, simple things, baby, oh
[Interlude]
Now, don't misunderstand me
I love me a good man
Who love to take care of his good woman
But I don't think you need to go on out here and kill yourself over no car, no house, no jewelry
Because at the end of the day, baby
While you chasing all that, I'm really chasing you
We got lights, we got food
We got a phone, we can talk to each other
Hell, we even got FaceTime, I can find out where you at
And honestly, we don't need none of that as long as we got each other
'Cause that's all we really need, baby

[Outro]
All I really need
Oh, baby, oh, baby
All I really want
Is the simple things
That's what I'm talking about, baby
Yeah
