Well, back in the past when I was treated so coldly
My love life was a darn disgrace
Needed someone to love and hold me
That's one of the reasons that I was out of place

So this is love? Well, she finally kissed me
Had me all worked up inside
I was in love, but Cupid missed me
She up and left, and I almost died

But I was young and I was far from lonely
I been that way for a long, long year
Needed a girl to call my one and only
Is that you?

You think you got the int'rest
C'mon and take the time
'Cause you know I wanna be
Yours in a simple rhyme

Well, ain't life grand when you finally hit it?
I'm always a sucker for a real good time
Woke up in life to find I almost missed it
Ain't I glad that love is blind?

But I was young and I was far too crazy
Been that way for a long, long time
Needed a girl, but I was just too lazy
Now that I've found you:

You think you got the int'rest
C'mon and take the time
I'm gonna be
Yours in a simple
Rhyme
Rhyme

She made the mountains sing
Birds against an icy sky
And I heard bells ringin'
I think I heard an angel sigh

And she said:
There'll be times
There will be times

You're gonna hear the angels singin'
Ah
Ah
Ah."

You think you got the int'rest
C'mon and take the time
I'm gonna be
Yours in a simple
