Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama told me
When I was young
"Come 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, yeah"
[Verse 2]
"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
[Chorus]
"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?"
[Verse 3]
"Forget your lust
For the rich man's gold
All that you need
Is in your soul
And you can do this
If you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"
[Chorus]
"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?"
Oh, yes I will
[Verse 4]
"Boy, don't you worry
You'll find yourself
Follow your heart
And nothing else
And you can do this
Oh babe, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"
[Chorus]
"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?"
[Outro]
Baby, be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
