"Blues'll Give You Back Your Soul" lyrics

TajMo (Taj Mahal & Keb' Mo') Lyrics

"Blues'll Give You Back Your Soul"

I love you, baby, now, and you know I do
Anything in the 'round, 'round, 'round world for you
Oh, wanna love you right
Most every day and every night
I'm gonna holla, I'm gon' shout
Like a mathematician, we gon' work this lil' problem out

Yeah, you like your rock and roll
But the blues, the blues will give you back your soul
Give you back your soul

I used to be your prince
But now I'm just a frog
Swimmin' in muddy water
Sleepin' in a hollow log
Thought we we're doin' better
But it just got worse
Took every blessing and you turned it into a curse

They say jazz will give you back your mind
Reggae give you back your body
I know you like rock and I know you like to roll
But the blues, the blues will give you back your soul
Give you back your soul

We've got to sit right down and have a little talk
Whatever you thought it was, was exactly what it's not
All I need is just one more chance
For you and I to make a brand-new plan

You listen to me, and I'm gonna listen to you
I made a promise when I said "I do"
I accepted you, baby, to have and to hold
And the blues, blues will give us back our soul
Back our soul

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baby
Ooh, well
Yeah
Give us back our soul
