In a Simple Rhyme - Van Halen

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 up 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

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

She made the mountains sing

Birds against an icy sky

And I heard bells ringin'

I think I heard an angel sigh

And she said:

There’ll be times

There will be times

You’re gonna hear the angels singin'

Ah

Ah

Ah."

You think you got the int’rest

C’mon and take the time

I’m gonna be

Yours in a simple
