Save My Soul

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.
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 baby I'm your boy.
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!
Get out of my way you! You ain't no good! … Bad!
Just like a string on a fiddler's bow,
you got me all so tensed-up tight you wont 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!
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!
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!
Save my soul … get off my life! … Are you!?
You're dragging me down … Leave me alone!
