Simple Man

Mama told me when I was young
"Sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
Oh, if you do this, it'll help you some sunny day"

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
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man
And be something 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, rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied

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

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

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

And be a simple kind of man
And be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Won't you do this if you can?

And be a simple kind of man
And be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
