[Verse 1]
Simplicity it works for me
It keeps me runnin' hard and sharp and true
I focus on the basic stuff
And pretty soon I'm comin up on you
So much clutter clouds our way
Fundamentals win the day

[Verse 2]
I break you down, size you up
I see a path and then I bust a move
Before you know what hit you babe
I finish and I'm on to somethin' new
Complex theories have their place
I like throwdowns in your face

[Bridge]
It's clear when it's really, really near
And it's everything you need
Rise and be worthy of the prize
Get exactly what you need (Ow)

[Verse 3]
Simplicity in everything
In every single thing you say and do
Don't get lost in foggy stuff
Stay on track and let it come to you
Keep your focus on your goal
Use that iron hard control
Use your power and your speed
Get exactly what you need

[Outro]
Simplicity (Oh, uh)
Simplicity (Uh huh)
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Simplicity (Ow)

Robert Clark “Bob” Seger (born May 6, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist. As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
