- The Original Lyrics

YEAH!

Got your hands in your pockets, like your ready to pay
Got your eyes out of socket, like your a mile away
Mouth shut, like a locket, like you've nothing to say
Speak your mind up, come on baby free yourself

Hey no one can do it, free yourself
Hey nothing to it, free yourself
Yeah, don't let nobody try to steal your soul
You're the original

ha ha ha

So you say your just a lost soul
I know you better than that
ha ha
So you say your just a loss in the wash oh
I know you better than that
So you say your just a face in the city race,
wasted and sick of it all
Speak your mind up, come on baby free yourself
Hey no one can do it, free yourself
Hey nothing to it, free yourself
Yeah, don't let nobody try to steal your soul
You're the original

The original
You're the original
The original
All right

Oh ohh
Come on now
Oh ohh
Come on now
On ohh
Come on now
Oh ohh

Free youself, Hey no one can do it, free yourself
Hey nothing to it, free yourself
Yeah, don't let nobody try to steal your soul

Free youself, Hey no one can do it, free yourself
Hey nothing to it, free yourself
Yeah, don't let nobody try to steal your soul

You're the original
