How Deep Is The Well Lyrics by Percy Mayfield

Percy Mayfield, Vol. 2: Memory Pain

0

Everyone knows how he feels within
And if he has a conscious he knows when he sins
'Cause only you can tell, how deep is the well
'Cause the well is the soul of a man
He picks out the car, well then make him a slave
True love is given only hearts that are brave
So only you can tell, how deep is the well
'Cause the well is the soul of a man
The world gives you back, what you give to the world
If you give love, you will get love in return
But if you give the world hate, well, somehow through fate
Hate is bound to be your ruin, your ruin
If you were to tell me that you are my friend
And if you don't mean it, you will know from within
'Cause only you can tell, how deep is the well
'Cause the well is the soul of a man
If you were to tell me that you are my friend
And if you don't mean it, you will know from within
'Cause only you can tell, how deep is the well
'Cause the well is the soul of a man
