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, 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 for 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.
Oh, be something you love and understand.
Oh, don't you worry, you'll find yourself.
Follow your heart, and nothing else.
And you can do thios, oh baby, if you try.
All that I want for 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.
Oh, be something you love and understand.
