written by John David Souther 1976 WB Music Corp & Golden Spread Music (ASCAP) 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 Truth is simple But seldom ever seen Let nothing come between Simple man, simple dream
