Simple Lyrics
I wish I could be Wesley Willis
My words would flow like honey
Sweet and laid on thick
You're so edgy
You don't even need a rhyming dictionary
I wipe my hands on your jeans
Cause they are more distressed
So they say you've got a CD
And they claim you can barely read
But you say don't bother me with all of your reality
(you were thinking)
Life should be that simple
(Who would have thought it)
I wish it were just so simple
(don't know what you were thinking)
But the point's been missed
You've made a mess
Who would have guessed
That it's as simple as it seems
But you've got a lot to learn
Like the time you lost your apartment
Cause you bought too much Vuitton
You park in a loading zone
You sleep with the lights all on
You cross your i's and dot your t's
All it goes to show
(you were thinking)
Life should be that simple
(Who would have thought it)
I wish it were just that simple
(don't know what you were thinking)
The point's been missed
We've made a mess
Who would have guessed
That it's as simple as it seems
Just take a moment to reevaluate
The possibilities
The situations
The opportunities
That are waiting
Oh, the possibilities
Oh, I
(you were thinking)
Life should be that simple
(Who would have thought it)
I wish it were just so simple
(don't know what you were thinking)
You're in a haze
It's just a phase
You know this maze
Is as simple as it seems
About your eccentricities
What I mean to say
Oh, is that I need you listen please
And focus on life's simplicities
So don't be afraid to strip it away
Cause at the end of the day
It's still as simple as it seems
Just deal with it
its about someone who thinks life is hard, and katy's explaining it's really not.
She's talking about people who live up in space, she just wants them to see, that there is life on Earth too. Things can be difficult, but there are so many options.
its; "you've got OCD" and, i think this song is so cute :) like, its much more laid back and down to earth than the stupid; i kissed a girl, one. i LOVE this side of katy :)
I love this song :D .. Her voice sounds so young, and she looks so young and carefree in the music video. LOL like no makeup and stuff ^_^
I have no idea why, but her vocal style reminds me a bit of Stephen Malkmus here. At least the first verse. And the lyrics are kind of random, like Pavement.
Man, I wish Columbia would have released that fist Katy album. If the rest was as good as this song it would have been a real gem.
I don't know what it means. I tend to think its about someone who is slightly retarded and careless and she envies that.
Its about (or heavily inspired by) the late, great Wesley Willis. Who was a music artist who suffered from chronic schizophrenia hence "But you say don't bother me with all of your reality" also she notes his music style "You're so edgy, You don't even need a rhyming dictionary" This song has given me respect for Kat Perry. As Willis wqas a wonderful artist and most people did "miss the point".

That's just a reference. It's about someone who's caught up in trying to be cool, and misses out on the simple things in life.

news flash, shes talking to Aquarius people
Um, quitejaded. I don't think she would be jealous of a retarded person... And who wrote these lyrics??? It's 'dock your t's' - not 'dot your t's'. How can you dot a 't'?
It is dot your t's, as before that she says cross your i's, meaning the person confuses everything up.

I think the song is about some absent-minded genius guy, who's so lost in his own thoughts, he doesn't think about anything else.
