Get Your Soul Down

She was looking for a better life

Looking for a better time and place

To take her from the emptiness

The day to day, the rat race in her brain

I could only ever be there

I could only ever say, "Girl, it's okay"

Don't let 'em get your soul like that

Don't let 'em get your soul and get away

Working for the money but it hardly ever comes

Try to make it perfect but it's only ever done

It's bittersweet, it's never gonna turn the way you want

So put your red shoes on

Does it get your soul down

When the bad times come around?

Don't let it get your soul down

Does it get your soul down

When the bad times come around?

Don't let 'em get your soul down

I see it in a better light

It took a little time, a little space

Girl, I let 'em get my soul like that

I let 'em get my soul and get away

I've been working for the money but it hardly ever comes

Try to make it perfect but it's only ever done

But I won't let 'em get me, let 'em get me like they've won

I put my red shoes on

Does it get your soul down

When the bad times come around?

Don't let it get your soul down

Does it get your soul down

When the bad times come around?

Don't let 'em get your soul down

For all the things that were never said

And all the things that get to your head

And all the words that they never read

For the words you wrote down and never sent, yeah

I got a letter I never sent

It was gonna be easy, I'll never rent

Had a good way to get around the bank

An easy love or life or sex

Pains or pains that gather 'round

You're gonna get through or let it get you down

All that shit gonna get you down

Leave your soul a number when it get you down

Does it get your soul down

When the bad times come around?

Don't let it get your soul down
