A Little Soul
Hey man
How come you treat your woman so bad?
That's not the way you do it, no, no, no
You shouldn't do it like that
I could show you how to do it right
I used to practice every night on my wife
Now she's gone
Yeah, she's gone
You see your mother and me
We never got along that well, you see
I'd love to help you
But everybody's telling me
You look like me but please don't turn out like me
You look like me but you're not like me I know
I had one, two, three, four shots of happiness
I look like a big man
But I, I only got a little soul
I only got a little soul
Yeah, I wish I could be an example
Wish I could say I stood up for you
And fought for what was right
But I never did
I just wore my trench coat
And stayed out every single night
You think I'm joking? Huh, try me
Try me, yeah, come on, try me tonight
I did what was wrong though I knew what was right
I've got no wisdom that I want to pass on
Just don't hang 'round here, no, I'm telling you son
You don't wanna know me
Oh, that's just what everybody's telling me
And everybody's telling me
You look like me, but please don't turn into me
You look like me, but you're not like me I hope
I have run away from the one thing that I ever made
Now, I only wish that I could show you
Wish I could show a little soul
Wish I could show a little soul
Wish I could show a little soul
Wish I could show a little soul
How come you treat your woman so bad?
That's not the way you do it, no, no, no
You shouldn't do it like that
I could show you how to do it right
I used to practice every night on my wife
Now she's gone
Yeah, she's gone
You see your mother and me
We never got along that well, you see
I'd love to help you
But everybody's telling me
You look like me but please don't turn out like me
You look like me but you're not like me I know
I had one, two, three, four shots of happiness
I look like a big man
But I, I only got a little soul
I only got a little soul
Yeah, I wish I could be an example
Wish I could say I stood up for you
And fought for what was right
But I never did
I just wore my trench coat
And stayed out every single night
You think I'm joking? Huh, try me
Try me, yeah, come on, try me tonight
I did what was wrong though I knew what was right
I've got no wisdom that I want to pass on
Just don't hang 'round here, no, I'm telling you son
You don't wanna know me
Oh, that's just what everybody's telling me
And everybody's telling me
You look like me, but please don't turn into me
You look like me, but you're not like me I hope
I have run away from the one thing that I ever made
Now, I only wish that I could show you
Wish I could show a little soul
Wish I could show a little soul
Wish I could show a little soul
Wish I could show a little soul
