Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I love you, baby, now, and you know I do

Anything in the 'round, 'round, 'round world for you

Oh, wanna love you right

Most every day and every night

I'm gonna holla, I'm gon' shout

Like a mathematician, we gon' work this lil' problem out

[Chorus]

Yeah, you like your rock and roll

But the blues, the blues will give you back your soul

Give you back your soul

[Verse 2]

I used to be your prince

But now I'm just a frog

Swimmin' in muddy water

Sleepin' in a hollow log

Thought we we're doin' better

But it just got worse

Took every blessing and you turned it into a curse

[Chorus]

They say jazz will give you back your mind

Reggae give you back your body

I know you like rock and I know you like to roll

But the blues, the blues will give you back your soul

Give you back your soul

[Verse 3]

We've got to sit right down and have a little talk

Whatever you thought it was, was exactly what it's not

All I need is just one more chance

For you and I to make a brand new plan

[Chorus]

You listen to me, and I'm gonna listen to you

I made a promise when I said "I do"

I accepted you, baby, to have and to hold

And the blues, blues will give us back our soul

Back our soul

[Outro]

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baby

Ooh, well

Yeah

Give us back our soul
