| Oh my mama told me
|
| 'Cause she say she learned the hard way
|
| She say she wanna spare the children
|
| She say don’t give or sell your soul away
|
| 'Cause all that you have is your soul
|
| Well I was a pretty young girl once
|
| I had dreams I had high hopes
|
| I married a man he stole my heart away
|
| He gave his love but what a high price I paid
|
| All that you have is your soul
|
| So don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
|
| Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
|
| Hunger only for a taste of justice
|
| Hunger only for a world of truth
|
| 'Cause all that you have is your soul
|
| Why was I such a young fool
|
| Making babies was the best I could do Thought I’d made something that could be mine forever
|
| Found out the hard way one can’t possess another
|
| And all that you have is your soul
|
| So don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
|
| Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
|
| Hunger only for a taste of justice
|
| Hunger only for a world of truth
|
| 'Cause all that you have is your soul
|
| I thought, thought that I could find a way
|
| To beat the system
|
| To make a deal and have no debts to pay
|
| I’d take it all, I’d take it all, I’d run away
|
| Me for myself first class and first rate
|
| But all that you have is your soul
|
| So don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
|
| Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
|
| Hunger only for a taste of justice
|
| Hunger only for a world of truth
|
| 'Cause all that you have is your soul
|
| Here I am, I’m waiting for a better day
|
| A second chance
|
| A little luck to come my way
|
| A hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again
|
| And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
|
| 'Cause all that you have is your soul
|
| So don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
|
| Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
|
| Hunger only for a taste of justice
|
| Hunger only for a world of truth
|
| 'Cause all that you have is your soul
|
| Oh my mama told me
|
| 'Cause she say she learned the hard way
|
| She say she wanna spare the children
|
| She say don’t give or sell your soul away
|
| 'Cause all that you have is your soul
|
| All that you have
|
| All that you have
|
| All that you have
|
| Is your soul |
