All That You Have Is Your Soul
My Mama told me'Cause she say she learned the hard waySay she want to spare the childrenShe say don't give or sell your soul away'Cause all that you have is your soul
Don't be tempted by the shiny appleDon't you eat of a bitter fruitHunger only for a taste of justiceHunger only for a world of truth'Cause all that you have is your soul
I was a pretty young girl onceI had dreams I had high hopesI married a man he stole my heart awayHe gave his love but what a high price I paidAnd all that you have is your soul
Why was I such a young foolThought I'd make historyMaking babies was the best I could doThought I'd made something that could be mine foreverFound out the hard way one can't possess anotherAnd all that you have is your soul
I thought thought that I could find a wayTo beat the systemTo make a deal and have no debts to payI'd take it all take it all I'd run awayMe for myself first class and first rateBut all that you have is your soul
Here I am waiting for a better dayA second chanceA little luck to come my wayA hope to dream a hope that I can sleep againAnd wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands'Cause all that you have is your soul
All that you haveAll that you haveAll that you haveIs your soul
