The Simple Things (Something Emotional) - Vanessa Amorosi

Saw an old friend yesterday

Who’s a big success

Got a Bentley and a Rolex

And a Gucci dress

Got the guys all lined up waitin

For her to pull their string

And she told me all about

Her latest hot sweet thing

She’s got everything a girl could ever want or need

All that money can afford

But there’s still a voice inside that keeps crying out

For something more

Something emotional

Something that’s beautiful

Something that stands the test of time

Why are the simple things so hard to find

Something emotional

Something that’s wonderful

Something that lifts us high above

Here we are waiting to be saved by love

Just to wake up in the morning

To a familiar face

Conversation over coffee

To start my day

I pick up the phone

And dial to see if mum’s around

Wouldn’t mind just droppin by

For a visit now

I could travel round the world, write my name in the sky

Make my dreams come true

But it wouldn’t mean a thing if I didn’t know that I

Could come home to

Something emotional

Something that’s beautiful

Something that stands the test of time

Why are the simple things so hard to find

Something emotional

Something that’s wonderful

Something that lifts us high above

Here we are waiting to be saved by love

And I long someday

To have children of my own

To share those precious moments

To know you’re not alone

To be as good as my mother

Was to me in my younger years

The laughter, the fights… the tears
