Lyrics A Theory - Tracy Chapman

A Theory

It’s just a theory
There’s a possibility
I am wrong
It’s just a theory
But I would stake my life
Lay my money down
That you were meant for me
And for you I’m the one
It’s just a theory
A particular set
Of assumptions
It’s just a theory
An educated guess
A conclusion not forgone
That you were meant for me
And for you I’m the one
Oh
Nothing’s new under the sun
I will postulate
Ask for your consideration
Ask you out on a date
Although it can’t be sure
Why not act on a hunch
Oh why not search for proof
Why not go out for lunch
And in theory,
I could propose
And in theory
You could affirm
Oh
That you were
Meant for me
And for you
I’m the one
Oh
That you were meant for me
And for you I’m the one
It’s just a theory
A series of tests
Should be run
It’s just a theory
lthough not fully assessed
An idea whose time has come
That you were meant for me
And for you I’m the one
That you were meant for me
And for you I’m the one
