Lyrics
If my man, oooh, if my man
I said-a if my man wanna leave me, if my man's gonna go
He can take away my money, but he bet not take my soul
I don't care 'bout his new woman, or her brand new chest
I just care 'bout my honor and none of the rest
Gave him all my loving, my strength and my soul
Then he up and got a new woman straight from the stripper pole
She's full of silicone and a heart made of stone
But if that's what he wants, then I say let him go
If my man's gonna leave me, if my man's gonna go
He can take away my money, but he bet not take my soul
He didn't have no bucket, nor a pot to piss in
When I met him at the bus stop when he came out the pen
I made all this money by the sweat of my brow
When I started playing juke joints, but look at me now
Set him up in a business, he said he'd work hard
But when I was away, he was catting in the cat yard
Done got a new kitten, and she's full of milk
But it's all gonna sour, when he's poor like her ilk
When he takes my money, I sure can make more
But he's gonna keep on blow'n it on kittens on a stripper pole
I said now if my man's gonna leave me, if my man's gonna go
He can take away my money, but he can not take my soul
I don't care 'bout his woman, or her brand new chest
I just care 'bout my honor and none of the rest
It's well with my soul, take your boots and go
I'm strong in my strength, he can't break my mold
Can't take my soul, hell-to-the-no
I'm sturdy as pure gold, take the money and go
You can't take my soul, you can't take my soul
Can not take my s-o-o-u-l
