[Verse 1]
Alright, we're talking about "Don't fool with my soul"
Hey, everybody, I want you to understand
You can't steal soul from another man, oh, no
You know that stealing, stealing, stealing just ain't right
What's done in the dark, alright, eventually come to the light

[Refrain]
Alright, you can't hide
Run on, run on, run on, someone'll cut you down

[Verse 2]
One of these days, you gonna get what's coming to you, one day
More than likely, in an unpleasant way
(Unpleasant way)
I'm telling you the best way, the best way to get along
Here's what you do:
Tend to your business, leave everybody else's alone
'Cause if you don't, listen, I know it's true
Nine times out of ten the guys that you're fooling with
Will be the ones to put the hit on you, alright

[Bridge]
Now, if you love your baby
Sticking with my soul and my baby
I got to have my soul, and my baby
[Verse 3]
Because she mixes with me
Like pepper mixed with salt
Here's the true thing about it:
She can turn me on, aw, yeah
Everybody else just turns me off, alright
Ain't going good?
Oh Lord
Ain't going good?
I got my soul and my baby

[Refrain]
Hey, I know it's good
I know it's good
I got my soul and my baby

[Chorus]
Oh, don't you fool with my soul
When you do, everything, I just lose control, alright

[Verse 4]
You're gonna get what's coming to you one day, oh, yeah
More than likely, watch out, in an unpleasant way, alright
Hey, brother, brother don't you understand? Alright
You can't steal soul, no, no, no
From your fellow man, let me hear
You don't steal it, oh, yeah, stealing just ain't right
I'm gonna tell ya
[Refrain]
What's done in the dark, oh
Is gonna come to the light
When you fool with my soul
Overnight

[Chorus]
Oh, don't you fool with my soul
When you fool with it, I just might lose control

[Outro]
You know stealing, stealing just ain't right
What's done in the dark, sure gonna come to the light
Tell you the best way, the best way, the best way to get along
Tend to your business, ooh, hoo, hoo
Leave it alone
Alright
Don't you fool with my soul
No, no, no, no, no
Don't you fool with my soul
Aw, yeah
Don't you, you, you, you fool with my soul, alright
If you do, I can't promise ya, I just might lose control
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
