Simple Man

Mama told me, when I was young, come sit beside me, my only son, and listen closely to what

And if you do this, it'll help you some sunny day, oh yeah!

Oh take your time, don't live too fast Troubles will come, and they will pass

You'll find a woman and will find love And don't forget son, there is a someone

above And be a simple kind of man

Or 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?

Ooh, yeah

Forget your lust for rich man's gold All that you need 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

or 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?

Oh, yes, I will.

Why 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 for you, my son, is to be

satisfied And be a simple kind of man

Oh, be a something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Oh, want to do this for me, son, if you can
