[Verse 1]
Well, a man needs a woman right by his side
A man needs a woman right by his side
She keeps him warm at night, he keeps her satisfied

[Verse 2]
Well, you can't help nobody until you help yourself
Nah, you can't help nobody unless you can help yourself
Ain't nobody gonna help you better than somebody else

[Chorus]
Soul of a woman, soul of a man
The perfect combination ever since the world began
Oh yeah
Soul of a woman
The soul of a woman, soul of a man
Ah, warm us up now Rufus

[Fiddle Solo]

[Chorus]
Soul of a woman, soul of a man
The perfect combination ever since the world began
Oh yeah
The soul of a woman
The soul of a woman, soul of a man
[Verse 1]
Well, a man needs a woman right by his side
Yeah, a man needs a woman right by his side
She keeps him warm at night, he keeps her satisfied
Ah, now satisfied

[Fiddle Solo]

[Chorus]
Soul of a woman, soul of a man
The perfect combination ever since the world began
Oh yeah
The soul of a woman
The soul of a woman, soul of a man
