Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I heard I lost it on the grapevine I must admit I had a great time There are words for people like me But I don't think there's very many I've gained the world then lost my soul Maybe it's 'cause I'm getting old All the people that I know Have gained the world then lost their soul There's no persuasion that I'm into That made some sense of what we've been through We should form a new foundation If we could find the right location Is it prey on display? I'm feeling well I've gained the world then lost my soul Maybe it's 'cause I'm getting old All the people that I know Have gained the world then lost their soul I've gained the world then lost my soul Maybe it's 'cause I'm getting old All the people that I know Have gained the world then lost their soul
