Keep It Simple, Stupid by Melodie Yvonne

Dedicated to Vernie Long ❤

Keep it simple, keep it plain
It all passes even rain
Don’t be scared child, don’t be sad
Dream this life the best you’d have

Keep it slow child, take some time
Smell the roses, rest, unwind
Don’t you fret now, don’t you cry
‘Cause life is fast and passes by

Dream this life the best you’d have
All the smiles and all the bad
Love your soul and where it’s rooted
And just keep it simple, stupid

Keep it simple, stay in check
Be the you that’s very best
Don’t be angry, no since ragin’
Karma’s got your back now baby

Keep it happy, smile a mile
Grinnin’ always stays in style
And if there’s ever clouds above ya
Know I’m reachin’ down to love ya

Dream this life the best you’d have
All the smiles and all the bad
Love your soul and where it’s rooted
And just keep it simple, stupid

Love your life and where you’re rooted
And just keep it simple, stupid
