All That You Have Is Your Soul (2015 Remastered)
Oh, my mama told me
'Cause she says she learned the hard way
Say she wanna spare the children
She say, "Don't give or sell your soul away
'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"
I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams, I had high hopes
Married a man, he stole my heart away
Gave his love but what a high price I paid
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"
Why was I such a young fool?
Thought I'd make history
Makin' babies was the best I could do
Thought I made something 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 I could find a way
Beat the system
Make a deal and have no debts to pay
Take it all, I'd take it all, I'd run away
Be for myself, first class and first rate
When 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 waitin' 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
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
'Cause she says she learned the hard way
Say she wanna spare the children
She say, "Don't give or sell your soul away
'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"
