  • 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 Writer/s: ALEX JAMES SMITH, PAUL MICHAEL BARRY, REBECCA FERGUSON
