(Bob McDill)

It was warm, now it's cold.
It was young,, now it's old.
Love was here now it's gone,
Simple song.

Once she did, now she don't,
Once we tried, now we won't.
How could love go so wrong?
Simple song.

Oh, it don't take much to say it
And anyone can play it.
All you got to do is live it
And anybody can.

Simple tune, simple words,
Simple me, simple her.
She was here, now she's gone,
Simple song.

Oh, it don't take much to say it
And anyone can play it.
All you got to do is live it
And anybody can.

It was warm, now it's cold.
It was young, now it's old.
Love was here, now it's gone
Simple song...
