Deftones - Simple Man

Mama told me, when I was young,
Sit beside me, my only son.
And listen closely to what I say.
If you do this,
It will help you some sunny day.

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 it son,
There is someone up above.

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, 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.

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.

Boy don’t you worry, you’ll find yourself.
Follow your heart, and nothing else.
And you can do this, if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

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.
