Simple As I Am

(Dolly Parton)



I know that you could have more than a poor hard workin' man

I love you and I need you and I ask you for your hand

And my calloused hands will work for you from sunup to sundown

If only you'll accept me as simple as I am.



I speak to you with simple words I know no fancy lines

I am just a simple man who wants you to be mine

I cannot offer diamonds just a simple golden band

And I hope that you'll accept me as simple as I am.



--- Instrumental ---



I cannot promise riches love is all I can afford

But I can promise you no one else can love you more

And I can promise you I'll never let you down

If only you'll accept me as simple as I am.



I speak to you with simple words I know no fancy lines

I am just a simple man who wants you to be mine

I cannot offer diamonds just a simple golden band

And I hope that you'll accept me as simple as I am.



I hope that you'll accept me as simple as I am...
