Lyrics for Alles by Tracy Chapman:
| | | Artist: | Tracy Chapman |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Alles | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 59 | | | | Lyrics: | My mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
Say she want to 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 hight 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 depts 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 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
