I need my freedom
And that's a fact

She said : "Give it up now,
Or don't bother coming back
Do ya, do ya, do ya understand?"

She was the only woman
Who hurt me, made me feel bad

Makin' her happy was all that I had
And all I ever, I ever
I ever really wanted


My soul survivor
Without you, what do I have left

My soul survivor
Cannot make it by myself

She would tell me I'm a fool
That I don't give a damn
And though half of that was true
She just didn't understand

What I, what I, what I really needed

Well she left me with some heavy loads

Stood me on some crossroads

May be I'm a better man
I gotta know who I am

Do ya, do ya, do ya understand?


My soul survivor
Without you, what do I have left

My soul survivor
Cannot make it by myself

My soul survivor
Do you hear my cry

My soul survivor
I will love you till the day I die

(Instrumental)

(Chorus)
