Play it loud, play it soft, play like you're in love
Play like there are angels, listening from above
From the deepest oceans to the depths of rock & roll
Everybody needs a little soul
Now when that woman comes to you and needs a tender hand
Don't be afraid to give your heart, and try to understand
That everybody needs someone to help make them whole
And everybody needs a little soul
I'm prepared to testify, I'm prepared to follow through
For I have been a witness to what the heart can do
So play that country music, play that big band swing
Let the symphony fill the hall, let the soul man sing
For the curtain's rising, it's time to rock & roll
And everybody needs a little soul
