Simple Man

Mama told me
When I was young
Come sit beside me
My only son
And listen closely
To what I say
If you do this, it'll help you some sunny day, oh yeah

Oh, take your time
Don't live too fast
Troubles will come
And they will pass
You'll find a woman
And you'll find love
Don't forget, son, there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be somethin' you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?

Forget your lust
For the rich man's gold
All that you need
Is in your soul
And you can do this, oh maybe
If you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be somethin' you love and understand
Yeah baby, be a simple kind of man
Won't you do this for me son, if you can?

Boy, don't you worry
You'll find yourself
Follow your heart
And nothing else
And you can do this, oh babe, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be somethin' you love and understand
Yeah baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?
