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 |
