Mama told me, when I was young,
|
Sit beside me, my only son.
|
And listen closely to what I say.
|
If you do this,
|
It will help you some sunny day.
|
|
Take your time, don’t live too fast.
|
Troubles will come, and they will pass.
|
You'll find a woman, and you’ll find love
|
And don’t forget it son,
|
There is someone up above.
|
|
And be a simple kind of man.
|
And be something you love and understand.
|
Baby, be a simple kind of man.
|
Won’t you do this, if you can?
|
|
Forget your lust, 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.
|
And be something you love and understand.
|
Baby, be a simple kind of man.
|
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, if you try.
|
All that I want for you my son,
|
Is to be satisfied.
|
|
And be a simple kind of man.
|
And be something you love and understand.
|
Baby, be a simple kind of man.
|
Won't you do this, for me son,
|
If you can.
|
|
And be a simple kind of man.
|
And be something you love and understand.
|
Baby, be a simple kind of man.
|
Won't you do this, if you can.
|
|
And be a simple kind of man.
|
And be something you love and understand.
|
Baby, be a simple kind of man.
