She may not be the best lookin' woman 
I ever did see 
Nor have the charms of the ladies 
Of high society 

But the woman's got soul 
Worth all money and gold 
And all the love that I have belongs 
To the woman with soul 

Now I'm just a regular fellow 
I don't need much 
I don't need a Cadillac car 
Or diamonds and such 

But the woman that I hold 
She's got to have soul 
And then I'm richer than the richest gold 
If the woman's got soul 

That's got a whole lot of class 
Because class in a woman 
Don't mean she's gonna last 

I need a kind of woman 
That when I hold, she fits up tight, yeah 
Oh, and when she throws it on me 
I give in without a fight 

Then I know the woman's got soul 
Worth all money and gold 
And then I'm richer than the richest gold 
If the woman's got soul 

If the woman's got soul 
If the woman's got soul 
If the woman's got soul
