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
|
|
Ahhh
|
Yeah it will
|
|
Or 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's is a someone up above
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Be a simple kind of man
|
Be a 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)
|
|
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 from you my son is to be satisfied
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And be a simple kind of man
|
Be a something that 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)
|
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And be a simple kind of man
|
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
|
So baby be a simple be a simple man
|
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
|
