Simple Man

Mama told me when I was young

Sit beside me my only son

Listen closely to what I say

And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day

Take your time

Don't live too fast

Troubles will come

They will pass

Find a woman you find love

And don't forget son there's a someone up above

And be a simple

Kind of man

Be something you love and understand

Baby be a simple

Kind of man

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

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

Won't you do this for me son if you can

But don't you worry

You'll find yourself

Follow your heart

And nothing else

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

Real simple man

Or be something you love and understand
