I don't want much but I say what I mean And I need your touch I'm just a simple man And I know what it takes Yes, I know who I am You took my hand And I followed you to this far away land And I'll stand by you if you stand by me Then we both will be [Chorus] Living in the city out in the rain I'll wipe all your worries, I'll wipe them away Living in the city so dirty and grey I'll give you the shelter, I'll take you away I don't want much, I'm a simple man And I need your touch and I can't forget I just close my eyes and I see you there If you take my hand I will take you to this foreign land 'Cause I want to hold you close 'Cause I need you by me, I won't let you go [Chorus]
