Hey, Soul Sister

Hey Soul Sister - Train

Hey, hey, hey

Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you, and so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam, the smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided, you're the one I have decided who's one of my kind

Hey soul sister, ain't the Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair, you know!
Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do...tonight
Hey, hey,hey

Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me
You gave my life direction, a game show love connection we can't deny
I'm so obsessed, my heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna, and I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair, you know!
Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do...tonight

The way you can't cut a rug, watching you's the only drug I need
You're so gangsta, I'm so thug, you're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see, I can be myself now finally, in fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you be with me

Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair, you know!
Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do tonight,
Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do...tonight
Hey, hey,hey

Tonight
Hey, hey,hey

Tonight

For the record, I was listening to this song before it got popular. She gave it to me. Ironic that she gave me the song that made me think of her when I listened to it. I really like this song. It's appeal has gone down a little bit ever since it started playing all over, but it is still undoubtedly a great song; it's catchy, with good lyrics, and has a nice ukulele instrumental (i am quite partial to ukuleles for personal reasons). I know that I've lost credibility, posting this after everyone knows about it, but I seriously did hear this song before a lot of people.

The title, the concept itself, is quite original - hey soul sister - a term unrivaled by the popular ones: lover, baby, darling, etc. It resembles soul mate, but I feel like it's a little bit different, more real. If there really is such thing as a soul mate. I'm not sure what I believe about true love, love at first sight, soul mates, etc. I mean, I am a fan of romance, but does everything romantics pine for exist? Maybe not. Who knows. It doesn't really matter though (does it?). I'm not trying to look too far into anything (which is quite difficult for me some of you may know). I'm really happy right now. Simple as that. And if there is such a thing as a "soul sister", I feel like I've found a pretty good candidate.
