Can't Take My Soul

The weather is a getting cold
But it's ninety degrees outside
Feels like I'm driving so slow
But this old Ford is cruising ninety-five

I thought I could hear your cold words
After all, they were just words
And I thought I could see your sad eyes
After all, eyes won't lie

I thought that I could just take this hatred in
Let it back out as sweet love again
But now I'm giving up
oooh-ooh but I'm never giving in
So you can take my life
You can keep this heart
oooh but you never can take my soul
No one ever can take my soul

I feel so good like I'm laughing
But there's these tears running down my face
I dry my eyes to see the sunrise
Only to find it's set-it's too late

So I sit there and listen to you scream
After all, I never would
Oh, but I cry before I go to sleep
After all, I know I wasn't what I should be

I thought I should just take this hatred in
Let it back out as sweet love again
But now I'm giving up
mmmm-mmm, but I'm never giving in
So you can take my life
You can keep this heart
Oooh, but you never could take my soul
No one ever could take my soul

I tried to say goodbye yesterday
But we ended up in bed instead
I asked about the color of your eyes
But I couldn't-had to turn away, turn my head

Oh, give me the strength to let you go
After all, I never could
I couldn't ????????
After all, I know I wasn't what I should be

I thought that I should just take this hatred in
Let it back out as sweet love again
But now I'm giving up
oooh-ooh but I'm never giving in
So you take my life, you can have this heart
You can keep this strap and march your damned dog
You can have all my hands and my feet and my hair
And all of those good things I did everywhere
But you never could take my soul
You'da think that you could posess
All of my looks all of my prettiness
And all of my feelings and my lovings too
But don't you know that you were the fool
'Cause you never could take my soul
No one ever could take
You Can't Take my Soul
