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've 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?

Well, try me

Yeah, 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
