Plundered My Soul Lyrics
Can you believe it? I've won more medals in this love game
I’ve been resting on my laurels; I’m a bad loser; I’m a yard off my pace
Mmmm I smell rubber and I soon discovered that you’re gone for good
My indiscretions made a bad impression; Guess I was misunderstood
I thought you needed my loving, but it's my heart that you stole
I thought you wanted my money, but you plundered my soul
(You plundered my soul)
I started asking around but your friend's pretty lips were sealed
I wrote a letter full of trite confessions and my wounds that healed
I had some gossip; you've become an alcoholic, you’re dryin’ out
So I phoned every clinic in the yellow pages, not a place I found
I thought you needed my loving, but it's my heart that you stole
I thought you wanted my money, but you plundered my soul
(You plundered my soul)
I hate quittin’ but I’m close to admittin’ I’m a sorry case
But on quiet reflection, my sad rejections not a total disgrace
But I do miss your quick repartee and the smile that lights up your face
You'll be a hard act to follow; A bitter pill to swallow
You’ll be tough, you’ll be tough to replace
I thought you wanted my loving, but it's my heart that you stole
You were the trick up my sleeve; My ace in the hole
I thought you wanted my money, but you plundered my soul
Oh… plundered my soul
Oh yeah!
(You plundered my soul)
You plundered my soul
Yeah! Yeah!
(You plundered my soul)
I’ve been resting on my laurels; I’m a bad loser; I’m a yard off my pace
Mmmm I smell rubber and I soon discovered that you’re gone for good
My indiscretions made a bad impression; Guess I was misunderstood
I thought you wanted my money, but you plundered my soul
(You plundered my soul)
I wrote a letter full of trite confessions and my wounds that healed
I had some gossip; you've become an alcoholic, you’re dryin’ out
So I phoned every clinic in the yellow pages, not a place I found
I thought you wanted my money, but you plundered my soul
(You plundered my soul)
But on quiet reflection, my sad rejections not a total disgrace
But I do miss your quick repartee and the smile that lights up your face
You'll be a hard act to follow; A bitter pill to swallow
You’ll be tough, you’ll be tough to replace
You were the trick up my sleeve; My ace in the hole
I thought you wanted my money, but you plundered my soul
Oh… plundered my soul
Oh yeah!
(You plundered my soul)
You plundered my soul
Yeah! Yeah!
(You plundered my soul)

No comments?? This song rocks! Awesome lyrics. It's a great heartbreak, blues kinda song.
I agree. I was shocked when I looked up this song and saw only one comment. Usually you can tell if a song was a big hit by seeing how many comments it has on here. Based on that, this song must not have been that big of a hit, but it should have been. I am not a fan of the Rolling Stones at all and usually dislike how Mick Jagger sings, but this song is so perfect. It works in every way. I think it's about a man who is a womanizer and has never really...

I think it's about a man who is a womanizer and has never really cared or put much work into a relationship, and that lifestyle ends up biting him in the ass because he realizes, just a bit too late, that he found a keeper and treated her like the everyday trash he has been with. Amazing song. I think the best line is near the beginning... "I smell rubber and I soon discover that you're gone for good."
A great reflection on past mistakes and regrets and grievances that come with it.
