Lyrics:
​
Oh yeah…
Pretty mama taps me on the shoulder.
“Come on, boy, take a ride with me.”
Look at my ring and my head says, “No…
Man get out of here--just go, go, go!”
But my legs they weighin’ me a ton,
And I start thinkin’ bout all that fun…
Dang! Gotta just say no.
The simple things are hard to do,
Over and over again.
Need some help to be the man I oughta be
Cause temptation keeps callin’ me in.
That liquor store is calling my name.
“Slow down, boy, you can’t get away.”
Now my truck's pulling heavy to the right.
Lord, help me to roll on by.
It’d be so easy to drive on in,
And grab a bottle of my old friend Jim.
Dang! Gotta just say no.
The simple things are hard to do,
Over and over again.
Need some help to be the man I oughta be
Cause temptation keeps callin’ me in.
They say walk away man just let it go.
It sounds so simple to do.
Don’t mean to put nobody down, but that ain’t me.
Is it really that easy for you?
Really that easy for you?
Lord, help me…
Dang! Gotta just say no.
The simple things are hard to do,
Over and over again.
Need some help to be the man I oughta be
Cause temptation keeps callin’ me in.
Yes, temptation keeps callin’…me in…oh yeah.
