"How Much Did You Get For Your Soul?" lyrics - LUCINDA WILLIAMS

It was an offer you couldn't refuse
One you couldn't resist
Must've been too good to be true
And you were at the top of the list
The devil is a master salesman
You weren't so hard to convince
He closed the deal as only he can
And made you feel like a crown prince

[Pre-Chorus:]
So I gotta ask you
Did you give it any thought?
I just gotta ask you
How does it feel to be bought?

[Chorus:]
How much (How much) did you get for your soul?
How much did you get for your soul?
How much (How much) did you get for your soul?
How much did you get for your soul?

You sold the one thing given by God
'Cause you thought it would make you rich
You're nothin' but a worthless fraud
It was all just bait and switch
It's the oldest story ever been told
You got nothin' left to sell
Now your blood is running cold
And you're on the road to Hell

[Pre-Chorus:]
So I just gotta ask you
Did you give it any thought?
I just gotta ask you
How does it feel to be bought?

[Chorus:]
How much (How much) did you get for your soul?
How much did you get for your soul?
How much (How much) did you get for your soul?
How much did you get for your soul?

I read where Matthew said
For what will it profit a man
Who rules the whole world
But forfeits his soul in the plan?
We've seen this many times before
There are others have taken the deal
Robert Johnson went down to the crossroads
Why don't you ask him, "How does it feel?"

[Pre-Chorus:]
So I gotta ask you
Did you give it any thought?
I just gotta ask you
How does it feel to be bought?

[Chorus:]
How much (How much) did you get for your soul?
How much did you get for your soul?
How much (How much) did you get for your soul?
How much did you get for your soul?

[Outro:]
How much (How much) did you get for your soul?
How much did you get for your soul?
