I don't wanna be a hero And I don't wanna be a king And I don't need a lot of money And I don't need a lot of things I don't need to be the bossman Don't need to be no number one Just need to know that I am needed Just need to have a little fun CHORUS I haven't got a fancy history I haven't got much of a plan Sure I got hopes and I got dreams Still albeit what I may seem I am a simple man I need someone that I can talk to Someone who knows my name Someone who'll catch me when I'm falling Someone who'll warn me when I'm strained I just need a little loving Just need a little sane And some quiet and a cold one At the ending of my day CHORUS A place to put my feet up And a nice hot shower And someone to reach out to In the darkest hour Just need a place where I can hide A place where I can turn And when I'm lost and forgotten I need a place where I return Just need some food when I am hungy Just need some warmth when I am cold I need a friend when I am lonely Need some time when I am old I need some wisdom when I'm foolish Need some joy when I am blue Don't need nothing half so much these days As I know that I need you CHORUS CHORUS I am a simple man I am a simple man
