Story Behind the Song
Written after a night in a NYC club watching New Orleans soul singer Irma Thomas perform.
Lyrics
When My Soul Cried
When I was a young girl
Made a promise to myself
There were things I wouldn’t give away
In spite of everything else
But as I’ve gotten older
Broken promises one by one
But till I met you baby,
I was never so undone
Chorus:
I’ve had hurt in my heart
I’ve had tears in my eyes
But I never — no, I never
Heard my soul cry
I used to pride myself
Could see the devil a mile away
Then I let him into my bed
And he stayed for ten long days
And when I got up to go
Felt like I’d been torn apart
I said, “Mr. Devil, this is the end.”
He said, “Babe, it’s the start.”
Chorus:
I’ve had hurt in my heart
I’ve had tears in my eyes
But I never — no, I never
Heard my soul cry
Bridge: Did I say he was cruel?
Did I say he made the water taste like wine?
Did I say he was the world’s best lover?
Ain’t nobody showed me such a good time
And now I’m wondering
Got my head in my hands
If there isn’t just one little thing
A woman won’t do for a man
But I’m living proof
That that man, he can’t be denied
He tipped his hat, he winked,
He took away my pride
Chorus:
I’ve had hurt in my heart
I’ve had tears in my eyes
But I never — no, I never
Heard my soul cry
