My Soul for a Smile

You traded my soul for a smile
A lifetime for a mile
Love ain't a tool you use
My friend you're such a fool

You made love a small thing
Without love no one sings
Hearts beat slow but strong
Every time they're done wrong

How does a vow work for you?
Does true mean true to you?
Love ain't no bowl of gruel
My friend you're such a fool

The Tin man cried himself to rust
"Give me a heart or I'll bust"
All you fill is egos lust

We should have danced
The white dove dance
But you won't give love a chance
So go on and make doves cry
But my friend you live a lie

You traded my soul for a smile
The long gray and wrinkled path to the grave
For brief moments and a passing wave

It gives me no pleasure to say
You're going to hurt like me someday

You traded my soul for a smile
A lifetime for a mile
Love ain't a tool you use
My friend you're such a fool
