ALL THAT YOU HAVE IS YOUR SOUL
words and music Tracy Chapman
Intro
Verse 1
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
Chorus
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.
Verse 2
I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams, I had high hopes
Married a man, he stole my heart away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
And
all that you
have is your
soul
Chorus
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.
Verse 3
Why was I such a young fool
Thought I'd make history, making babies was the best I could do
Thought I'd make something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can't possess another
And
all that you
have is your
soul
Chorus
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.
Verse 4
I thought, thought I could find a way
to beat the system, to make a deal and have no debts to pay
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
Chorus
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.
Verse 5
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 a world with a clear conscience and clean hands
'Cause
all that you
have is your
soul
Chorus
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.
Verse 6
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
