    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
