Hey Soul Sister
Alex Goot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brain
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
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey soul sister, I don't want miss a single thing you do tonight
Heeeeey, heeeeey, heeeeey.,
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 you're mind
Hey soul sister, ain't that mister, mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey soul sister, I don't want miss a single thing you do tonight
The way you can cut a rug
Watching you's the only drug I need
So gangster, 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'll be with me
Hey soul sister, ain't that mister, mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey soul sister, I don't want miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Heeeeey, heeeeey, heeeeey., (tonight)
Heeeeey, heeeeey, heeeeey., (tonight)
