"Simple Man" lyrics - DEFTONES
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
Oh 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
Go find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget son there is someone up above
[Chorus:]
And be a simple kind of man
And be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Won't you do this, If you can?
Forget your lust for rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this if you try
All that I want for you my son
Is to be satisfied
[Chorus:]
And be a simple kind of man
And be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
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, if you try
All that I want for you my son
Is to be satisfied
[Chorus:]
And be a simple kind of man
And be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Won't you do this, for me son
If you can?
And be a simple kind of man
And be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Won't you do this, If you can?
And be a simple kind of man
And be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
