Amazing grace
Thatâs what everybody called her
Perfect body better face
Truly a sight to see
The whole world at her feet
She played it like a piano
A lack of decency
Is what she saw and then she said
Nobody wants to do things easily
Nobody sees the woods before the trees
Everybody wants to complicate
If thatâs not true please tell me why does this happen
All the time
And then she cried
And cried
It was killin her inside
Everybody wanted a piece of
Her and her pride
She wept invisibly
Failure to catch a spark
Deprived her of good reason
She spent time in the park
Talkin to the birds and bees
Nobody wants to do things easily
Nobody wants to love eternally
Everybody wants to complicate
If thatâs not true please tell me why does this happen
All the time
Oh how she cried
And cried
She closed her eyes
And saw the world go up in flames
A bird of paradise
Unable to fly away
Her degree in philosophy
Proved itself to be of no use
It made an apology
And left her to be on her own
Nobody wants to do things easily
Nobody cares for footloose and fancy free
Everybody wants to complicate
If thatâs not true please tell me why does this happen
All the time
She cried
And cried
I didnât know that she was so far gone now
That I couldnât retrieve her
When she said Iâd never see her again
I didnât believe her
