"The Soul In Me" lyrics - RICHARD THOMPSON

Life was precious when she loved me
Every day was heavenly
Then one day she plainly told me
She found a better man than me

[Chorus:]
Did you ever get that feeling
Like you're all torn up inside?
Then you know just how I'm feeling
Like the soul in me has died

How can life be so deceiving?
Treat you so off-handedly?
To raise you up so high and handsome
Then dash you down so cruelly?

[Chorus:]
Did you ever get that feeling
Like you're all torn up inside?
Then you know just how I'm feeling
Like the soul in me has died

[Chorus:]
Did you ever get that feeling
Like you're all torn up inside?
Then you know just how I'm feeling
Like the soul in me has died

Well, I'll give up this way of living
Play the game of love no more
And I'll find some lonely cottage
With a good lock on the door

[Chorus:]
Did you ever get that feeling
Like you're all torn up inside?
Then you know just how I'm feeling
Like the soul in me has died
Like the soul in me has died
