[Verse 1]
Somebody play on the guitar strings
Makes me think of my favorite songs
Reminds me of when I heard Aretha sing
Gladys, Tina, and Chaka Khan
It can't go back to yesterday (Yesterday)
But can we just put the thongs away

[Pre-Chorus]
And fall back in love with music
Nothing but the music
Oh
Everybody knows that Marvin's gone
Still I gotta tell you what's going on
Said the music's gone

[Chorus]
Where did the soul go?
It's all about the video
We don't sing no more (No more)
Where's the music gone? (No, no) Oh
Where did the music go?
It's all just for the dough
It ain't soul no more (No more)
Where's the music gone? (No, no)
[Verse 2]
Still hear Donny playing them keys
Singing one day we'll all be free
I can't even turn on my radio (Oh no, no)
Somebody hollerin' 'bout a bitch or a ho (Wait a minute)

[Pre-Chorus]
Right now I'm missing music
Black folks down home music
Oh, oh

[Chorus]
Where did the soul go?
It's all about the video
We don't sing no more (No more)
Where's the music gone? (No, no) Tell me
Where did the music go?
It's all just for the dough
We don't sing no more (No more)
All the soul is gone (No, no) Tell me
Where did the music go?
It's all just for the dough
They don't sing no more (No more)
Where's the music gone? (No, no)

[Bridge]
Tell me, can we get back? Can we get back?
I wanna talk about it, I'm gonna talk about it
I'm gonna sing about it, I'm gonna sing about it
Mmm, all the music's gone, all the soul is gone
Let's take it back (Take it back)
Take it back (Take it back), oh, oh
(Music) Take it back
(Music) I got to know
[Chorus]
Where did the music go?
It's all just for the dough
(It's gone, it's gone, it's gone)
(No more)
(No, no) Said, tell me
Where did the soul go? (Tell me)
It's all about the video (It's gone, it's gone)
(No more)
(No, no) Said I miss you, Marvin
Where did the music go? (And I miss you, Donny)
It's all just for the dough (Oh, said I miss you)
(No more)
(No, no) Tell me
Where did the music go? (Tell me, tell me)
It's all just for the dough
(Where my soul can sing) (No more)
(Where my soul singers?) (No, no)
(Tell me where the soul at)
Where did the soul go? (Tell me your soul's at)
It's all about the video (Tell me your soul's at)
(No more)
(No, no) I'm gon' sing my song
Where did the music go? (Tell me)
It's all just for the dough (Tell me)
(No more) (Tell me)
(No, no) (Hey)
[Outro]
Oh, said tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
