how to keep good things simple?

how simple are things
when things are simple
when I am me
and you are you
in my eyes there's a twinkle
and on your cheek, a dimple
how simple are things
when things are simple!

you like being happy
and I like being good
we like doing
what we would
and we like each other
no worries, no rumple
how simple are things
when things are simple!

from where does creep in
the urge to possess
need for more
more than we actually are
the desire
to peep into wimple
no more,
things are simple

it is the greed
to have more
of what we enjoy
and that is
when we start to tipple
how to keep
good things simple!
