Simple [French translation]

You're such a poet

I wish I could be Wesley Willis

My words would flow like honey, sweet and laid on thick

You're so edgy

You dont even need a rhyming dictionary

I wipe my hands on your jeans, 'cause they are more distressed

So they say--you got O.C.D.

And they claim you can barely read

But you say "Don't bother me with all of your reality"

But it could be so simple

(you were thinking)

Life should be that simple

(Who would have thought it)

I wish it were just so simple

(don't know what you were thinking)

But the point's been missed

You've made a mess

Who would have guessed

That it's as simple as it seems

So what, you're a genius

But you've got a lot to learn

Like the time you lost your apartment

Cause you bought too much Vuitton

You park in a loading zone

You sleep with the lights all on

You cross your i's and dot your t's

All it goes to show

That it could be so simple

(you were thinking)

Life should be that simple

(Who would have thought it)

I wish it were just that simple

(don't know what you were thinking)

The point's been missed

We've made a mess

Who would have guessed

That it's as simple as it seems

I'm not saying that it's a piece of cake

Just take a moment to re-evaluate

The possibilities

The situations

The opportunities

That are waiting

Oh, the possibilities

Oh, I

It could, it could be that simple

(you were thinking)

Life should be that simple

(Who would have thought it)

I wish it were just so simple

(don't know what you were thinking)

You're in a haze

It's just a phase

You know this maze

Is as simple as it seems

We could talk all day

About your eccentricities

What I mean to say

Oh, is that I need you listen please

And focus on life's simplicities

So don't be afraid to strip it away

Cause at the end of the day

It's still as simple as it seems

It is all so simple

Just deal with it
