Well mama told me, when I was young
Said sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely, to what I say
And if you do this
It'll help you some sunny day
Oh, yeah it will...
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 that there is a someone
Up above
And be a simple kind of man
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, from the rich man's gold
All that you need now, is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want from you my son
Is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
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 your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want from you my son
Is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh 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?
Baby be a simple kind of man, a simple man
Oh won't you do this for me son
If you can?
