Save My Soul

[Verse 1]
Just like my sister with a spinning top
You whip me round and round and round and I can't stop
I'm running after you just like a lovesick dog
Feeling like the little boy who's lost in the fog

[Verse 2]
Just like a fly who's attracted to jam
You put me next to you and baby that's what I am
Your messing me up just like a broken toy
Stick me back together again say I'm your boy

[Chorus]
But I carry my pride like a burning cross
I won't let you buy it not at any cost
You ain't got the hold on me you had before
I got to get my self away and save my soul

[Guitar Break/Ad-Libs]
Get out of my way you!
You ain't no good!
Bad!

[Verse 3]
Just like a string on a fiddlers bow
You got me all so tensed-up tight you won't let me go
The price I pay to keep your love is much too high
If you quit me, it will hit me, baby I'll die

[Chorus]
But I carry my pride like a burning cross
I won't let you buy it not at any cost
You ain't got no hold on me you had before
I got to get my self away and save my soul

[Chorus]
Yeah I said I carry my pride like a burning cross
I won't let you buy it, not at any cost
No, no you ain't got the hold on me you had before
I got to get my self away and save my soul

[Guitar Break/Ad-Libs 2]
Save my soul woman
Get off my back
Oh yeah, you're dragging me down, baby
Leave me alone
Oh yeah
