Simple Man Lyrics

Cover art for Simple Man lyrics by Klaus Nomi

Klaus here is talking about all the hype and disdain of him. This was the title track of his second LP. He was an openly homosexual singer at a time when being gay was considered bad by the majority of people. What he's really trying to say is that love for gay people is not that much different than for straight people; both require a serious emotional commitment, and that everyone is overthinking things.
