Cheap

If I sing a song that goes like this

Would you listen to my words?

If the melody is soft and clear

Would you care about the chords?

'Cause I don't mind if you just sit around all day

So I can stay with you even if you don't understand what I say

I just want to sound like Jack Johnson or Cat Stevens

And maybe you would hum along and your mind would be driven

To think I'm a bard or a poet and open your...

Does this song sound like a stolen hit from someone's unlocked drawer?

Or does it sound like a brazilian boy singing careless in the shower?

Well, I don't mind as long as you don't mind as well

And if you laugh it's alright, I'm a clown if it is for your delight

I just want to sound like Jack Johnson or Cat Stevens

And maybe you would hum along and your mind would be driven

To think I'm a bard or a poet and open your heart

I know you don't understand english so well, oh well

But neither do I, neither do I, but I fell for you and I don't know why

So I tried to please you with this silly song, don't get me wrong

I need you to know, I need you to know that if you sing along we will be alright

So...

If I sing a song that goes like this

Would you listen to my words?

If the melody is soft and clear

Would you care about the chords?
