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
And be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can then you can
Don't 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 from you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
And be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can if you can
Oh 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 from you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
So baby be a simple be a simple man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
