You Got Soul

Fall to the floor, you're always looking for more
It's a quarter to six, but I've been up since four
We don't wake up without a yawn, get your bowl of cereal, turn your TV on
Sit down at the computer but I see the pile of bills
Round here it's everybody else's pockets but ours to fill
Wanna know what my last will and testament says? "All of this, to you."
Wanna pick up my guitar but it's time to take you off to school
And there you are
And I drop you off but I forgot your change of clothes and your lunch
And you look me up and down with a frown
Til you crack a smile --
Put me down, you say, aw, come on Daddy, you gonna pick me up from school today?

You got soul and you're always gonna be my girl
You got soul and you're always gonna be my girl

At quarter to three..
Just when I'm starting to get creative
Time to catch a cab back down to 13th street
You're standing on the steps with your teachers
Lookng for me, saying All the other babysitters came already
Well I'm your dad and five minutes waiting for me can't be that bad
I want to take you to the zoo
I want to take you to the museum of natural history
And on the way, on the subway, somebody stands up
Starts screaming about how he's got God
And all the rest of us better start believe him

You got soul and you're always gonna be my girl
Oh, oh.. you got soul and you're always gonna be my girl

YOu fall asleep on the way back home;
By the time your eyes open, I've carried you all the way
To our door from the subway
And when you look up at me
I wondered just what you see
The last five years blew by so fast;
Every second more these moments are passing
How much of this will you remember?
Store your face in my mind forever
With a free hand, find a key in my pocket
Stick it into the door to unlock it
Lay you down on the bed with your favorite pillow under your head
Just when I think you're back to asleep, you look up and then you say
I need a glass of water

You got soul and you're always gonna be my girl
You got soul and you're always gonna be my girl
Oh, oh.. you got soul and you're always gonna be my girl
