So Simple
Alicia Keys · The Diary of Alicia Keys
Baby Voice:
Yeah
It would be
It would be
It would be so simple
What it is aint what it was
What should it be when it comes to you and
How it seems aint how it is
There's been a change
when it comes to me and
Oh baby you, Oh baby me, Oh maybe we,
Can try another day, another way
All in my mind I'm wondering why
We cannot find what was left at the beginning
If I could
Chorus:
Greet you again, kiss you again, miss you again
(It would be, it would be so simple)
Cause I would love you again, hold you again, need you again
(It would be, it would be, could it be, could it be so simple)
Now it's hardly simple, it's just simply hard
When it comes to you and
I find myslef not being myslef
Just to aovoid all this confrontation with
Oh baby you, Oh baby me, Oh maybe we
Can put this armor down and settle down
Oh its off track, that is a fact,,Can we get it back
Get it back to the begining if I could
Chorus:
Greet you again, kiss you again, miss you again
(It would be, it would be so simple)
Cause I would love you again, hold you again, need you again
(It would be, it would be, could it be, could it be so simple)
Baby Voice:
Don't you know that it would be
Don't you know that it would be
Don't you know that it would be
it would be, it would be
it would be, it would be
Chorus:
Greet you again, kiss you again, miss you again
(It would be, it would be so simple)
Cause I would love you again, hold you again, need you again
(It would be, it would be, could it be, could it be so simple)
Baby Voice:
Yeah
lala la la lala laaaaa (2X)
Yeah
We got the up rock do it like this don't stop (umph)
Yeah we got it going now
That was right on
Yeah
It would be
It would be
It would be so simple
What it is aint what it was
What should it be when it comes to you and
How it seems aint how it is
There's been a change
when it comes to me and
Oh baby you, Oh baby me, Oh maybe we,
Can try another day, another way
All in my mind I'm wondering why
