Plundered My Soul

The Rolling Stones

Can you believe it, 
I've won no medals 
In this love game. 
I've been resting on my laurels, 
I'm a bad loser, 
I'm a yard off my pace. 

I smell rubber 
And I soon discover 
That you're gone for good. 
My indiscretions 
Made a bad impression, 
Guess I was misunderstood. 

I thought you needed my lovin', 
But it's my heart that you stole. 
I thought you wanted my money, 
But you plundered my soul. 
(Plundered my soul) 

I started askin' around, 
But your friends' 
Pretty lips were sealed. 
I wrote a letter 
Full of trite confessions 
About wounds that heal. 

I heard some gossip, 
You'd become an alcoholic, 
You were dryin' out. 
So I phoned every clinic 
In the Yellow Pages, 
Not a trace I found. 

I thought you needed my lovin', 
But it's my heart that you stole. 
I thought you wanted my money, 
But you plundered my soul. 
(Plundered my soul) 

I hate quittin', 
But I'm close to admittin' 
I'm a sorry case. 
But on quiet reflection, 
My sad rejection's 
Not a total disgrace. 

But I do miss your quick repartee 
And the smile 
That lights up your face. 
You'll be a hard act to follow, 
A bitter pill to swallow, 
You'll be tough, you'll be tough to replace. 

I thought you wanted my lovin', 
But it's my heart that you stole. 
You were a trick up my sleeve, 
My ace in the hole. 
I thought you wanted my money, 
But you plundered my soul. 

Oh, plundered my soul 
Oh yeah (plundered my soul) 
You plundered my soul 
Yeah, yeah (plundered my soul) 
Oh, yes, yes, yes you, baby 
(Plundered my soul)
