In A Simple Rhyme Lyrics
Well, back in the past when I was treated so coldly,
my love life was a darn disgrace.
Needed someone to love and hold me.
That's one of the reasons that I was out of place.
So this is love! Well, she finally kissed me.
Had me all worked up inside.
I was in love, but Cupid missed me.
She up and left, and I almost died.
But I was young and I was far from lonely.
I been that way for a long, long year.
Needed a girl to call my one and only.
Is that you?
You think you got the int'rest.
C'mon and take the time.
'Cause you know I wanna be
yours in a simple rhyme.
Well, ain't life grand when you finally hit it?
I'm always a sucker for a real good time.
Woke up in life to find I almost missed it.
Ain't I glad that love is blind?
But I was young and I was far too crazy.
Been that way for a long, long time.
Needed a girl, but I was just too lazy.
Now that I've found you:
You think you got the int'rest.
C'mon and take the time.
I'm gonna be
yours in a simple
rhyme,
rhyme.
She made her mountains sing.
Birds against an icy sky.
And I heard bells ringin'
I think I heard an angel sigh. And she said:
There'll be times,
there will be times
you're gonna hear the angels singin'Ah.
Ah.
Ah."
You think you got the int'rest.
C'mon and take the time.
I'm gonna be
yours in a simple
rhyme,
rhyme,

I remember watching them play this live at my high school in 1975 (La Canada). None of us had any idea how big this band would become.
No ones' commented on this one yet??? This song's beautiful! One of a small handful of Roth era Van Halen songs not about partying, women, sex, etc. Very powerful song.
Yeah, I agree. I love the fact that the music rocks, but the lyrics are, well, sentimental/nice/happy. I love this song, top 10 VH songs ever.
About a player (rock star) that finally decides to find a girl to settle down with.
This song refers to Angels. Best of Both Worlds refers to heaven. Somebody in Van Halen is a Christian. Wonder who? Roth is Jewish. That much I know.
