Tom Petty - Keep a Little Soul (Outtake 1982) Lyrics

(A one, a two, a one, two, three, four)

I know you tried hard
Hard to get it right
There's a sadness
In your eyes
Oh little one
They'll rule you like a king
Don't be afraid to depend on me

Nothin' matters
It doesn't matter (no)
It doesn't matter
Said ya keep a little soul
And nothing really matters anymore
It doesn't matter (oh)
It doesn't matter
Honey, keep a little soul
And nothing's gonna matter anymore

Lately I've been thinkin' 'bout
Gettin' out of town
Go all the parties
Go look around
You think it over, babe
You come with me
Don't be afraid to live what you believe

Nothin' matters
It doesn't matter (no)
It doesn't matter
When ya keep a little soul
And nothing really matters anymore
It doesn't matter (oh)
It doesn't matter
Honey, keep a little soul
And nothing's gonna matter anymore

All people got soul, honey
All people got dreams
Don't be afraid to care for your feelin'
Oh, depend on me
Don't be afraid to live what you believe

Nothin' matters
It doesn't matter (no)
It doesn't matter
When ya keep a little soul
And nothing really matters anymore
It doesn't matter (oh)
It doesn't matter
I'll say, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Nothin' really matters, oh
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
Keep a little soul
And nothing matters anymore
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
Honey, keep a little soul
And nothing really matters anymore

(That was fun)
