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
Troubles will come and they will pass

Don't get your lust from the rich man's gold
And be a simple kind of man
Then you can
And listen closely to what I say
And be something you'll love and understand
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
Oh, yeah it will
Baby be a simple kind of man
Follow your heart and nothing else
All that you need now is in your soul

Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
Baby be a simple kind of man

And you can do this, oh baby if you try
Baby be a simple kind of man
And you can do this, oh baby if you try

Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
And be a simple kind of man

So baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Oh, take your time, don't live too fast

All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied
Be something you'll love and understand
If you can
And don't forget that there is a someone up above
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day
