I Wrote A Simple Song Lyrics By Billy Preston

    i wrote a simple song
    with simple words and harmony
    wasn’t very long
    before a star i was bound to be

    i didn’t care if it made the charts
    i only wrote it for you and me
    they think they’re so smart now
    they’re not as smart as they want to be

    they took my simple song yes they did
    they changed the words and the melody
    made it all sound wrong yeah
    now it sounds like a symphony

    who told them to mess with my
    oh now who gave them the right i wanna know now
    that song was personal
    because i wrote it for you
    it’s yours and mine girl

    mmm girl
    oh lord

    i don’t care if it makes the charts y’all no
    i only wrote it for you and me
    they think they’re so smart yes they do
    they’re not as smart as they want to be

    who told them to mess with my oh now
    who gave them the right i wanna know
    that song was personal whoa
    i wrote it for you
    it’s yours and mine

    yeah yeah
    oh oh
