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 |
| 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 |
