Many years ago I was a simple man
A simple man, no worries me
I never lied
Please read me

Not much conversation ever came from me
I never saw reality
I never tried
Please read me

Ah....

Maybe I've been lying on your couch too long
I'll stay if you can see me through, explain why

Please read me (x3)

Bee Gees

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
