Soul Mate - Michael Franks

I know whereof I speak, believe me

When it comes to the subject

Of loneliness, look it up, you’ll see

There is a picture of me

But that’s ancient history now, completely

Now when it comes to the subject

Of happiness, I’m the man to see

And my advice, in summary:

Look for a soul mate

Someone whose love will go the distance

Stop collecting only temporary hearts

Just find a soul mate

And then let go of your resistance

You’ll live happy ever after from the start

You need a soul mate

Before your house of cards collapses

Whose devotion’s like a candle in the night

Locate a soul mate

To help you navigate the rapids

That rise up along the river of your life

It’s you, or do my eyes deceive me?

Like divine intervention

You gave your heart to me for keeps

I knew I was in deep

This feeling I have, it never leaves me

What a perfect invention love is

It soothes the savage beast

These words of wisdom I repeat:

Look for a soul mate

Someone whose love will go the distance

Stop collecting only temporary hearts

Just find a soul mate

And then let go of your resistance

You’ll live happy ever after from the start

You need a soul mate

Before your house of cards collapses

Whose devotion’s like a candle in the night

Locate a soul mate

To help you navigate the rapids

That rise up along the river of your life

Look for a soul mate

Someone whose love will go the distance

Stop collecting only temporary hearts

Just find a soul mate

And then let go of your resistance

You’ll live happy ever after from the start

You need a soul mate

Before your house of cards collapses

Whose devotion’s like a candle in the night

Locate a soul mate

To help you navigate the rapids

That rise up along the river of your life
