Simple Lyrics by Rob Mayes

Greatest Thing

2021

[Verse 1]
Acting like we're competition
We don't know how to listen
We're not playing on the same team
Babe, this ain't the way it oughta be
And sometimes you don't want to speak up
Don't mean that we gotta break up
Snowballin' every other issue
Don't mean you gotta be with someone new
[Chorus]
Why we always gotta make it harder?
Need a lover, not a sparring partner
Turning easy into complicated
And all this back and forth is so frustrating
Give a little somewhere in the middle
If we're gonna make it, let's make it simple
[Verse 2]
Take my hand and let's go under
These sheets and roll around like thunder
When I'm pressed up against your body
I'll never ever want nobody else
[Chorus]
Why we always gotta make it harder?
Need a lover, not a sparring partner
Turning easy into complicated
And all this back and forth is so frustrating
Give a little somewhere in the middle
If we're gonna make it, let's make it simple
[Bridge]
Oh-oh, baby, let your guard down
Oh-oh, it's safe to let your heart out
Woah, I'll never want nobody else
[Outro]
Why we always gotta make it harder?
Need a lover, not a sparring partner
Turning easy into complicated
All this back and forth is so frustrating
Why we always gotta make it harder?
Need a lover, not a sparring partner
Turning easy into complicated
And all this back and forth is so frustrating
Give a little somewhere in the middle
If we gonna make it, let's make it simple
If we're gonna make it, let's make it simple
