Lyrics

Plain & Simple English

In plain and simple English she told me how things were
She chose each word and spoke so patiently
But I sat there in denial, just staring back at her
Then she said she was leaving me

Now don?t misunderstand me, I know that I was wrong
When pride set in and I refused to take the blame
I said ?Why does it really matter, this is where we both belong??
But her stance remained the same

And then as she went my hurt turned into regret
For the way I did not tell her how I felt
And as time passed on I still could not forget
And now my foolish pride has turned to guilt

In plain and simple English she said she would explain
When I called her on the phone after a while
So I met her at the corner and we stepped out of the rain
But a doubt showed on her smile

In plain and simple English our conversation ran
And it seemed to me that things were going fine
So I asked her if she?d come home and she paused and took my hand
And she said ?you?re just wastin? time?.
