Well I dream I knew a man with a lonely heart,
He never lover another and he’s got no place to go,
He’s taking it slow.
He worked hard in the city now he’s up on the hill,
He couldn’t take the load so he’s finding his way back home.
He’s taking it slow.

(Chorus)
They only want you for your soul,
They only want you for your soul.

Caught up in the middle of a living machine,
Working for a man whose face he’s never seen.
It’s all in a dream.
Teach you such a lesson that you’ll never forget,
You think you’ll lose your way, but you never quite lose the road.
He’s taking it slow.

(Chorus)
They only want you for your soul.

(Bridge)
See the man in the big white car he could love you forever,
Tall glasses and long cigars he could love you forever,
And you go...

Well you can love for a little you can love a whole lot,
But it’s hard to be a lover when all you get is what you buy.
They kiss you goodbye.
So I’m waiting for that silver cloud to descend,
On a man that’s come to realise that charity begins at home.
He’s taking it slow.

(Chorus)
They only want you for your soul,
They only want you for your soul.

(Bridge)
See the man in the big white car he could love you forever,
Tall glasses and long cigars he could love you forever,
And you go...hey.
And you go...

Only want you for your soul,
Only want you for your soul,
For your soul, for your soul,
For your soul, for your soul.
