Woman's Got Soul

B.B. King · Other Songs - B.B. King

(From A Tribute To Curtis Mayfield)



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



I don't need a woman

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 lady

That when I hold she fits up tight

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 all the love that I have belongs

To the woman with soul

The woman's got soul

The woman's got soul

The woman's got soul



The woman's got soul

Worth all money and gold

And all the love that I have belongs

To the woman with soul

The woman's got soul

The woman's got soul

The woman's got soul



The woman's got soul

The woman's got soul

The woman's got soul



The woman's got soul

The woman's got soul



The woman's got soul
