Well Mama told me when I was young Said sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It will help you some sunny day. oh 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 that there is a someone, up above.
And be a simple kind of man. Be something you love and understand. Be a simple kind of man. oh Won't you do this for me son, If you can?
You get your lust from the rich man's gold All that you need now 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. Be a simple kind of man. oh Won't you do this for me son, If you can?
Oh, don't you worry... you'll find yourself. Follow you heart and nothing else. And you can do this oh baby if you try. All that I want from you my son, Is to be satisfied.
