You can't help nobody,
    until you help yourself
You can't help nobody,
    until you help yourself
Nobody's going to help you
    better than somebody else.

You know a man needs a woman
    right by his side.
A  man needs a woman
    right by his side.
She keeps him warm at night,
    he keeps her satisfied.

Soul of a woman, soul of a man
A perfect combination
    ever since the world began.
Soul of a woman
Soul of a woman, soul of a man.

You can't help nobody,
    until you help yourself
You can't help nobody,
    until you help yourself
Nobody's going to help you
    better than somebody else.

You know a man needs a woman
    right by his side.
A  man needs a woman

    he keeps her satisfied.

Soul of a woman, soul of a man

Soul of a woman
Soul of a woman, soul of a man.
