My 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´ll 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, Oh yah, and you´ll find love.
And don´t forget that there is a 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?

Forget your lust, from 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.

(Chorus)

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.

(Chorus)
