[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, ah yeah" [Break] (Be a simple man) [Verse 2] Oh, take your time, don't live too fast Troubles will come and they will pass You'll find a woman, yeah, 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, oh, baby, 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 [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] 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 [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
