Simple Man Songtext
Oh, 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
Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come, they will pass
You′ll find a woman, oh, yeah, and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is Someone up above
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?
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
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 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
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, won't you do this for me, son, if you can?
"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
Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come, they will pass
You′ll find a woman, oh, yeah, and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is Someone up above
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?
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
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 can
Boy, don′t you worry, you'll find yourself
