“Simple Man"

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 take your time don't live to fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman (oh yeah) and you'll find love
And don't forget that there's is someone up above

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 for 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
So baby be a simple kind of man
Oh be something that you love and understand

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
So baby be a simple kind of man, be a simple man
Oh be something you love and understand
