How good or bad Happy or sad Does it have to get? Losing yourself Don't cry for help You don't think you need it And old friends are just a chore But now you need 'em more than ever before All that glitter And all that gold Won't buy you happy When you've been bought and sold Riding wild horses You can't control With all your glitter And all of your gold Take care of your soul Take care of your soul Soul, soul, soul How high, how low How on your own Are you gonna get? 'Cause losing your soul Will cost you more Than that life you're paying for And all those friends you left behind You might need 'em when it's cold outside All that glitter And all that gold Won't buy you happy When you've been bought and sold Riding wild horses You can't control With all your glitter And all of your gold Take care of your soul One day you're gonna wake up and find that No dream is losing it's shining Nobody is by your side When the rain comes down And you're losing your mind So who're you gonna run to? Where you're gonna hide Glitter and gold won't keep you warm All those lonely nights And all those friends that were such a chore You're gonna need 'em more than ever before All that glitter And all that gold Won't buy you happy When you've been bought and sold Riding wild horses You can't control With all your glitter And all of your gold To care of your soul Take care of your soul And all of your gold Take care of your soul Take care of your soul Soul, soul, soul Take care of your soul Take care of your soul Take care of your soul
