Soul Kid

William Smokey Robinson
Sang it true
Nothing like the jargon that I do
I been kinda chasing him all along
But I got a new frustration

You're talking like a martyr
Some might say
Devil's in the details, anyway
I could catch a train right out of town
If you drop me off at Union Station
I know, I know
I should leave it alone
But if (but if) I do (I do)
Would you leave me too?
Soul kid
Soul kid

The jig is up
But even so
I'm willing just to bargain
Or quit stone cold
Cause I been selling stories
For so long
That I can't tell the truth
From the serum

Don't it make you wonder
How things go
Maybe all is karma
I don't know
People will talk right through it all
I try to listen but I can't seem to hear them

I know, I know
I should leave it alone
But if (but if) I do (I do)
Would you leave me too?
Soul kid
Soul kid

Take my heart,
But not my soul
When every little part
Can make it whole
And I am the kid when I sing his song
Even when they say I've got it wrong
