Hey Soul Sister
Glee Cast (Darren Criss) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hey, hey
Tonight

(Hey) hey
(Hey) 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
(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
(You're one of my kind)

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 wanna miss a single thing you do
Tonight

(Hey) hey
(Hey) 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
('ny, 'ny)

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 mister mister
On the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do
Tonight

The way you can cut a rug
Watching you is 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 wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Hey soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do
Tonight

(Hey) hey
(Hey) hey
(Hey) hey
Tonight
(Hey) hey
(Hey) hey




(Hey) hey
Tonight

Overall Meaning

The Glee Cast's version of "Hey Soul Sister" is a tribute to the original song by Train, which was released in 2009. The lyrics of the song tell a story of a man who falls in love with a woman who he believes is the one for him. He's so enamored with her that he likens her to a work of art, calling her his "vegan" Madonna. He's obsessed with her and can't believe his luck that they've collided, and he won't let her go. The song is filled with metaphoric language, like "lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left-side brains" and "your sweet moonbeam, the smell of you in every single dream I dream."


The chorus of the song is catchy and talks about how the man admires the woman's moves and how she isn't playing fair by being too attractive. The lyrics "hey soul sister" talk about how she's someone he can vibe with, in other words, someone who is his kind of person. He doesn't want to miss a single thing she does and feels like she's the only one for him in the world. The song ends with the man saying that he can be himself finally with her and wants the world to see they're together, culminating in the catchy "tonight" refrain.
