It's always ones like her.
Can't wait to tell all your friends.
She'll keep reminding you
of all the dumb things you did.
And they say, "Don't take it! Don't take it alone."

And it's simple things occur
that every little girl will see.
She'll close the barrooms down
or just stay home for weeks.
They say, "Don't take it! Don't take it alone."

It's always simple girls that I know
That seem to know the simple things that I don't
But it's always the easiest answers,
A simple "Yes" or "No"
They say, "Don't take it! Don't take it!"
But, baby you can take my heart if you just say so.

But even in her simple dress
and her sensible shoes
She's still a complicated mess
and ain't got one thing to lose.
And they say, "Don't take it! Don't take it alone."

"Don't take it! Don't take it alone."
"Don't fake it! Don't break it alone."

It's always simple girls that I know
That seem to know the simple things that I don't
But it's always the easiest answers,
A simple "Yes" or "No".
They say, "Don't fake it! Don't break it!
But, baby, you can break my heart if you just say so.
