All That You Have Is Your Soul - Tracy Chapman

    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


    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
    I 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

    Why was I such a young fool
    Thought I'd make history
    Making babies was the best I could do
    Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
    Found out the hard way one can't possess another
    And all that you have is your soul

    I thought thought that I could find a way
    To beat the system
    To make a deal and have no debts to pay
    I'd take it all take it all I'd run away
    Me for myself first class and first rate
    But all that you have is your soul

    Here I am 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 the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
    'Cause all that you have is your soul

    All that you have
    All that you have
    All that you have
    Is your soul
