[Verse 1]
  The soul of a man   touches something inside of me,
  something too deep   for anyone else to see.
  And the whole world wants to know   why I   love him so,
  but I'm afraid, oh, they just wouldn't understand.
 
[Verse 2]
  My love for a man   is something I can't explain
  and every tear that I shed   I know it's wasted in vain.
  But there's something I can reveal,   that I so   deeply feel,
  and it must be,   oh, it's got to be, the soul   of a man.
 
[Bridge]
  I cried and I cried   'til I just can't cry no more,
  I know the man don't love me   but he won't let me go.
  He controls my heart,   my mind, and my soul,
and he's got the power to make me stay home   when I really want to go.
 
[Verse 3]
  Soul of a man   turns my mind around
  and takes my helpless heart   and turns it upside down.
  And the whole world wants to know   why I love him so
and it must be, oh, it's got to be, the soul   of a man.
