Down and out in London
Los Angeles and Paris, too
I drank a river in my time
Just to get on through, yeah
Well, the night, it rise above you, rise above me
And the blues, they swirl around me
To the heart of soul
You got to bleed a little while you sing
Less the words don't mean nothing, no
Get to the heart of soul
Gotta get to the heart of soul, yeah
Get to the hip, now baby
'Fore the hip get to you, yeah, lil' woman
Try to bend me out of shape
Can't tell me, can't tell me what to do, little honey
Well, the night, it rise above me, rise above me, yeah
And those blues, they swirl around me, ooh, ooh
To the heart of soul
You gotta bleed a little while you sing
Less the words don't mean nothing, no
Ow, get to the heart of soul, yeah
Gotta get to the heart of soul
You gotta bleed a little while your singing, yeah yeah yeah
Less the words don't mean nothing, no
Get to the heart of soul, yeah
Baby, heart of soul, ow
From the delta
Down on the river
We need some heart of soul
In the world today now
A little bit of heart of soul now
In the world today
A little bit of heart of soul now
A little bit of heart of so-so-so-so, soul
You gotta bleed a little while your singing, yeah yeah yeah
Less the words don't mean nothing, no they don't, no
Get to the heart of soul, yeah
Ow, baby, heart of soul
You gotta bleed a little while your singing, yeah yeah yeah
Less the words don't mean nothing, no
Get to the heart of soul, yeah
