[Verse 1]
People everywhere are talkin' 'bout soul
It makes you never, ever wanna grow old
You can't buy it in a grocery store
And you can't borrow soul from the neighbor next door

[Chorus]
But if you ain't got it
Well, you can't get it
'Cause soul is there
No, no, you can't buy soul

[Verse 2]
When someone asks to see "Hey, what is soul"?
And don't forget it, it's gotta be told
You might feel it in the broad daylight
Or when you love your baby late at night

[Chorus]
But if you ain't got it
Well, you can't get it
'Cause soul is there
No, no, you can't buy soul

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
If you ain't got it
Well, you can't get it
'Cause soul is there
No, no, you can't buy soul

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Ay, yeah, yeah (Ay, yeah, yeah)
Ay, yeah, yeah, yeah (Ay, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ay, ay, yeah (Ay, ay, yeah)
Ah, yeah
