No Doubt Simple Kind of Life lyrics

For a long time I was in love
Not only in love, I was obsessed
With a friendship that no one else could touch
It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells

And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
And all I needed was a simple man
So I could be the wife

I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean
I don't know how it got to this point
I always was the one with all love
You came along, I'm hunting you down

Oh, like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight
And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life

Oh, if we met tomorrow for the very first time
Would it start all over again?

Would I try to make you mine?

I always thought, I'd be a mom
Sometimes I wish for a mistake
The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get
You seem like you'd be a good dad

Now all those simple things are simply too
Complicated for my life
And how'd I get so faithful to my freedom
A selfish kind of life

When all I ever wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
...
