Simple Man lyrics
Mama told me when I was young
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
Boy, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
To find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above
And be a simple kind of man
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, 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

It's my favorite song ever. I love Deftones, but this song is in a class of its own. Ive never felt so much heart in a song.

i always cry just thinking of this song. Wish my mum told me that. I know its a cover but deftones put the sole and heart in this song that skinhead could not do. This rong is in my top 5 best of all time alongside blurry of puddle of mudd and rite in two of tool. Lyrics wise and heart.

I would think this song was redone by deftones in order to bring up some of the lack of dignity we face on our hearts nowadays.. get and KEEP pure.. that's what it's all about...
Love rocks.. Deftones too

This song embodies the classic appeal of our country as it was founded, before all the ingnorant rubish diluted and corrupted our culture. Less and less people nowadays understand this kind of foundation of simple, dignified and moral mentality.

This is an amazing cover, and I *think* it may even top the original LS version. We should all thank God for the Deftones... and if you haven't heard The White Pony yet, then stop what you're doing and get it!... it is musical perfection.
