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. Ah, 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 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? If you can.
And get 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 for 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.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can? 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 I want for 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.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?
