Tamar Braxton - Simple Things

When I woke up this morning
I sing that to your face
So I made you some breakfast
Eggs, and some beacon on your plate

'Cause I wanna talk to you before you walk out the door
'Cause I ain't about to walk round here
And watch you stressing no more
Baby think about other times you saved me
Baby let me be here for you
Appreciate all you do
But not to the point of losing you
'Cause you work it, stressing, hustling, guessing
About how you gon' pay all these bills
But I gotta be honest
That I ain't even want here with you
'Cause I'm not everything
I don't want it to tell it to you baby
'Cause I don't really need
All the house, cars, clothes, rings
I don't need nothing else from you
But the simple things
The simple, simple things, baby

You wanna take me to dinner
But look tired as hell
But we might as well stay home
'Cause we can't even enjoy ourselves
You ain't gotta buy me no gifts baby
Not even Channel
'Cause half of these chicks in Channel, baby
Be going up through the hell
Oh baby think about other times you saved me
Baby let me be here for you
Appreciate all you do
But not to the point of losing you
'Cause you work it, stressing, hustling, guessing
About how you gon' pay all these dam bills
But I gotta be honest
That I ain't even want here with you

'Cause I'm not everything
I don't want it to tell it to you baby
'Cause I don't really need
All the house, cars, clothes, rings
I don't need nothing else from you
But the simple things
The simple, simple things, baby

Now don't misunderstand me
I love near me a good man
Who loves to take care of his good woman
But I don't think you need go out here and kill yourself over
No car, no house, no jewelry
Because at the end of the day baby
While you chasing all that, I'm really chasing you
We got lights, we got food, we got a phone, we can talk to each other
Hell we even got FaceTime, I can find where you are
And honestly we don't need none of that
As long as we got each other
'Cause that's all we really need baby
All we really need baby
Oh baby, oh baby
All we really want, is the simple things
