You lay around, you fool around
And finally you lose her
All the lies and alibis
Will fail to move her

And now days you never know
Who's gonna blow you cover
You better start cleanin' house
Of all them poor little love her

And I'm not talkin' about tomorrow
I'm talking about today
You might get another chance with her
If it ain't already to late

And who knows she might forgive you
And if she does you better walk that line
You're gonna lose that soulful woman
She's gonna be mine

You oughta know what goes on
When she gets no lovin'
Nights alone don't make a home
She'll go out lookin'

So stand by, let it ride
And when love starts fadin'
She'll walk on out the door
And buddy I'll be waitin'

And I'm not talkin' about tomorrow
I'm talkin' about today
You might get another chance with her
If it ain't already too late

And who knows she might forgive you
And if she does you better walk that line
You're gonna lose that soulful woman
She's gonna be mine

A soulful woman
A just soulful woman
A soulful woman
And she's gonna be mine
