Zia Quizon Simple Girl lyrics

Whatever happened to a love letter
Whatever happened to a love song
If I had either, would I feel better
If I would, would it last for long

What ever happened to a diamond ring
For dad to give me away
Whatever happened to the simple things
Like a job that'll pay

And I won't ask for “I love you”
If the statement is too bold
But wouldn't it be a better penthouse view
With someone's hand to hold

And I'm a simple girl; it's easy to say
When I've had everything handed on a silver plate (ooh)
Don't make excuses but I do make mistakes
I got one life to live and just one heart to break

Mmm

I do a lot of big schemin'
That seems to do it for me
You tell me to keep dreamin'
I will ‘cause dreamin' is free

Mmm-mmm, you say I gotta live before I philosophize
To learn to live, I gotta learn to survive
And it's so much easier to live with closed eyes
But I would rather suffer everyday of my life

‘Cause dyin' easy; it's the livin' that's tough

But that's so easy to say when I ain't had it that rough (ooh)
Ain't got you answers; go ahead and call my bluff
I got one life to live and I just hopin' that one's enough

(Mmm) Mmm
(Mmm) Yeah-yeah
(Mmm) Mmm-mmm-mmm
(Mmm)

You got too many choices in this one life
I hear too many voices; don't know which one is right
I got too much in my head and just too little to say
And I can rest when I'm dead; ‘til then, I'm livin' my way

And I'm a simple girl; it's easy to easy
When I've had everything handed on a silver plate (ooh)
Don't make excuse but I do make mistakes
I got ne life to live and one heart to break

Dyin's easy; it's the livin' that's tough
But that's so easy to say when I ain't had it that rough (ooh)
Ain't got you answers; go ahead and call my bluff
I got one life to live and I just hopin' that one's enough

To live for love or for my bank account
To live for knowledge or remove all doubt
I got so much to give but most don't have an amount
I got one life to live; I'm just tryin' to make… it count
