Ain't It Simple

Ain't It Simple
by Tom Chapin
© 1976 The Last Music Co. (ASCAP)

When you whisper like a woman…
Take my breath away
Lean on me a little…
I’ll do anything you say
Give me little something
Help me through another day

You caught me
Limping out the alley
Shocking all the neighborhood
Put me back together,
Helped to make it like I should
I may not be the deepest
I’m good enough for Hollywood

Ain’t it simple, simple if you know how
Ain’t it simple, simple if you know how

Gripping like a bulldog,
Baby locked up tight
Leaning out the window
Keep my end in sight
A-wishing and a-wondering
Are you gonna make it tonight.

Ain’t it simple, simple if you know how
Ain’t it simple, simple if you know how

Won’t you meet me like a secret,
Meet me in the pouring rain
Open up your heart girl,
Give this poor boy a name
Anchor me please
In the eye of the hurricane.

Ain’t it simple, simple if you know how
Ain’t it simple, simple if you know how

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Life Is Like That CD.
