Billy Preston I Wrote A Simple Song Lyrics

I Wrote A Simple Song Lyrics

I wrote a simple song

With simple words and harmony

Wasn't very long

Before a star, I was bound to be



I 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 be



They 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 symphony



Who told them to mess with my?

Oh, now, who gave them the right?

I wanna know now, that song was personal

Because I wrote it for you, it's yours and mine, girl



I don't care if it makes the charts y'all, no

I only wrote it for you and me

They think they're so smart, yes they do

They're not as smart as they want to be



Who told them to mess with my?

Oh, now, who gave them the right?

I wanna know that song was personal

I wrote it for you, it's yours and mine

Yeah, yeah
