The Soul Of A Man Lyrics - Kinky Boots - Original Broadway Cast Recording

I'm bad news, a black and blues-er 

Who's a loser, a merry-go-round spiraling down 

I'm all used up I'm, chaffed and chewed up 

Who's just screwed up, the same old Charlie hitting the ground 

Cause I'll never be the soul of a man, noble and wise 

Like the soul of a man who lifted me high 

Like the soul of a man, heroic and true 

Like the soul of a man I looked up to 

What else could I do 

Stupid Hubris, no excuses 

I blew my fuses, I guess I'm just a ruse in my fathers shoes 

Not amusing, no confusing this streak of losing 

Totally brutal and useless too 

How can I be the soul of a man, noble and wise 

Like the soul of a man who lifted me high 

Soul of a man, heroic and true 

Like the soul of a man that I looked up to 

What else could I 

Just when I'm reaching for that rung at the top 

I'm that broken heel unsteady, ready ready to drop 

When will I be the soul of a man, noble and wise 

Like the soul of a man who lifted me high 

Soul of a man, heroic and true 

Like the soul of a man that I looked up to 

What else could I do 

I'll never be, no I'll never be 

I have gone and let you down 

Whoa, soul, soul of a man 

Here comes that familiar sound 

Same old Charlie hitting the ground
