I Wrote A Simple Song Lyrics - 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

As they want to be
