Huh
[Intro]
I want somebody to tell me
Answer if you can
I, I want somebody to tell me
(Hah)
Now what is the soul of a man?
[Verse 1]
Hah, I've traveled to different countries
I've traveled to foreign land
And I haven’t found nobody that can tell me
Just what about the soul of a man?
[Chorus]
I, I want somebody to tell me
(Somebody)
Answer if you can
(Somebody)
Somebody, please tell me
(Somebody)
(Ah)
Just what about the soul of a (ah) man?
(Ha
Ah)
[Verse 2]
I saw a crowd standin’, talkin’
I just came up in time
Well, teachin’ the lawyers and the doctors
Well, a man ain't nothin’ but his mind
[Chorus]
Well, I want somebody to tell me
(Somebody)
Answer if you can
Well, I want somebody to tell me
(Somebody)
Huh, what about the soul of a man?
What about the soul of a man?
[Bridge]
I read the bible often
I tries to read it right
And as far as I can have an understandin’
There’s nothin’ ‘bout a burnin’ light
[Chorus]
I want somebody to tell me
(Somebody)
Answer if you can
(Somebody)
Want somebody to tell me
(Somebody)
What is the soul of a man?
When Christ head into the temple
The people all stood amazed
Well, teachin’ the lawyers and the doctors
How to raise a man from the grave
(Ha, ha)
[Chorus]
I want somebody to tell me
(Somebody)
Tell me if you can
(Somebody)
I want somebody to tell me
(Somebody)
What about the soul of a man?
Ah, I want somebody to tell me
(Somebody)
Answer if you can
(Somebody)
Want somebody to tell me
(Somebody)
What about the soul of a man?
What about the soul of a man?
What about the soul of a man?
