Song language: English
Simon |
He’s from Ohio |
Lives with his mother |
He loves the woman |
Who loves his brother |
What can he do now |
As she walks across the floor |
Here comes his brother |
Walking sideways through the door |
Was the same at school |
He played the fool |
Or took a back seat |
While Simon ruled |
He played by himself a lot |
And people called him shy |
His mother said be more friendly |
And he would ask her why |
Has Simon got to be more friendly |
And do I have to be like him |
And mother said |
No son |
Gotta be yourself |
Be more like I tell you |
Be like me |
Be like I tell you |
Be like me |
Now when Kathleen |
Came on the scene |
He saw her first |
And then Simon spoke |
He took her to places |
That completely turned her head |
Gave her practical things |
Like diamonds for her neck |
Has Simon got to be so friendly |
Sometimes he makes me want to kill |
Look at 'em dancing |
While he’s standing by the wall |
There’s gonna be trouble |
When the time to leave is called |
And Simon won’t be feeling friendly |
He’ll be lying too close to the floor |
And mother said |
Oh son |
That’s not like you |
You gotta be more like I tell you |
Be like me |
Be like I tell you |
Be like me |
