Lyrics Soul Mate - Michael Franks

Soul Mate

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
