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 want to 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,
Rhyme.

    General Comment: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.

    General Comment: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.

    General Comment: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.
