Money Can't Save Your Soul
Soul's Price: When Love Fades and Money Fails
Lyrics
Well you've got a new man
Addressing the listener who has a new romantic partner.
And that's good for you
Expressing approval for the listener's new relationship.
And you got a lot of money
Noting the listener's wealth.
But what good will that do
Raising a question about the value of money in the context of relationships.
When he leaves you on the side
Anticipating a scenario where the new partner abandons the listener.
And the money falls away
Emphasizing the transitory nature of wealth when the relationship breaks down.
You'll come running back baby
Suggesting that the listener may return to the speaker after the breakup.
Believe what I say
Asserting the credibility of the speaker's advice.
Money can't save your soul
Stating a theme: Money cannot save one's soul, implying deeper values are crucial.
You better leave now
Advising the listener to leave the new relationship promptly.
While it's still ain't old
Suggesting the urgency of leaving before the relationship becomes problematic.
Money can't ease your mind
Reiterating that money cannot bring peace or contentment to the listener.
Come back and leave it all behind
Encouraging the listener to return and let go of material concerns.
Your in his house
Describing the listener's presence in the new partner's home.
And it sure looks fine
Complimenting the appearance of the new partner's house.
With three other girls
Noting the presence of other romantic interests in the partner's life.
But your first in line
Acknowledging the listener's priority among the romantic interests.
But what would happen
Predicting challenges for the listener when the relationship faces difficulties.
When your time comes round?
Raising a question about the listener's fate in the future.
The money will go
Anticipating the loss of wealth as the relationship deteriorates.
And you'll be homeward bound
Envisioning the listener returning home after the breakup.
Money can't save your soul
Repeating the theme: Money cannot save one's soul.
You better leave now
Reiterating the advice to leave the current relationship promptly.
While it's still ain't old
Emphasizing the need to act before the situation worsens.
Money can't ease your mind
Restating that money cannot bring mental peace or relief.
Come back and leave it all behind
Encouraging the listener to return and abandon material concerns.
Money can't save your soul
Reaffirming the central theme: Money cannot save one's soul.
You better leave now
Persistently advising the listener to leave the current relationship.
While it's still ain't old
Stressing the urgency of departure before the situation becomes worse.
Money can't ease your mind
Reiterating that money cannot provide peace of mind.
Come back and leave it all behind
Encouraging the listener to return and abandon material concerns.
