It's always ones like her
Can't wait to tell all your friends
She'll keep reminding you
Of all the dumb things you did
And they say, "Don't take it! Don't take it alone."
And it's simple things occur
That every little girl will see
She'll close the barrooms down
Or just stay home for weeks
They say, "Don't take it! Don't take it alone."
It's always simple girls that I know
That seem to know the simple things that I don't
But it's always the easiest answers
A simple "Yes" or "No"
They say, "Don't take it! Don't take it!"
But, baby you can take my heart if you just say so
But even in her simple dress
And her sensible shoes
She's still a complicated mess
And ain't got one thing to lose
And they say, "Don't take it! Don't take it alone."
"Don't take it! Don't take it alone."
"Don't fake it! Don't break it alone."
It's always simple girls that I know
That seem to know the simple things that I don't
But it's always the easiest answers
A simple "Yes" or "No"
They say, "Don't fake it! Don't break it!
But, baby, you can break my heart if you just say so
