Simple Man, Simple Dream Lyrics - Linda Ronstadt

What if I fall in love with you 

Just like normal people do 

Well maybe I'd kill you 

Or maybe I'd be true 

When I go down to get a job sometime 

It seems people can read my mind 

And make money disappear 

While they're talking sweet and kind

Well in some ways I am like a child 

You never seemed to know it 

And if a kind word ever crossed your mind 

You never tried to show it 

Well in some ways I am like a child 

You never seemed to know it 

And if a kind word ever crossed your mind 

You never tried to show it 

When people don't know what you mean 

They may laugh at you and call you green 

They'll say your words are stupid 

And your plans are only schemes 

Photos 

Truth is simple 

But seldom ever seen 

Let nothing come between 

Simple man, simple dream
