Michael Franks
Soul Mate
[Verse 1]
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:

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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:
[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
