Sometimes, actually with the song Soul Child from “One Hand To The Future” (…) we were sent the drums of it by Joker and then, me and Ed Thomas wrote that together, we wrote the chords and that was more of a, you know,...
[Verse 1]
Uh, what a miracle
Smiling up in my face
Tame me an animal
Putting me in my place, yeah, yeah, yeah
Made in America, daddy plays for high stakes
Mama gave the goods to ya
Then you sent her my way, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
You showed me the way out
As we lay down
[Chorus]
And all I wanna do is give you my everything
Give everything to you
Cause you are the rise and fall
When you raise I call
I promise you I'll be
The man you need in me
Cause all I wanna do is give you my everything
Give everything to you
[Verse 2]
Oh, if I'm playing up
Treat me like a playground
Shower me in your love
Tease me till I know how
[Pre-Chorus]
You showed me the way out
As we lay down
[Chorus]
And all I wanna do is give you my everything
Give everything to you
Cause you are the rise and fall
When you raise I call
I promise you I'll be
The man you need in me
Cause all I wanna do is give you my everything
Give everything to you
[Bridge]
Soul child, stay wild
I wanna show how
Living up your love now
Soul child, stay wild
[Chorus]
And all I wanna do is give you my everything
Give everything to you
Cause you are the rise and fall
When you raise I call
I promise you I'll be
The man you need in me
Cause all I wanna do is give you my everything
Give everything to you
