From:
Mama told me, when I was young
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 too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman, and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
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?
Forget your lust for the 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.
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?
Boy, 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.
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 be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
