Soulmate
Natasha Bedingfield Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Incompatible, it don't matter though
'Cause someone's bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
You're not easy to find

Is it possible, Mr. Loveable
Is already in my life?
Right in front of me
Or maybe you're in disguise

Who doesn't long for someone to hold?
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me, why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
Oh, yeah yeah

Here we are again, circles never end
How do I find the perfect fit?
There's enough for everyone
But I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold?
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me, why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Most relationships seem so transitory
They're all good but not the permanent one

Who doesn't long for someone to hold?
Who knows how to love you without being told
Oh, somebody tell me, why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone

Who doesn't long for someone to hold?
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me, why I'm on my own




If there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone

Overall Meaning

Natasha Bedingfield's song "Soulmate" is a reflective track that highlights the singer's desire for a soulmate - someone who truly understands and loves her without any reservations. The opening lines of the song, "Incompatible, it don't matter though/ 'Cause someone's bound to hear my cry," set the stage for the rest of the track. Natasha seems to have lost hope in finding someone who is compatible with her but is still hopeful that someone will hear her cry and understand her.


As the song progresses, Natasha questions her search for a soulmate, wondering if she has already met Mr. Loveable or if they are still hiding in plain sight, "Right in front of me/ Or maybe you're in disguise." The artist then poses a rhetorical question, "Who doesn't long for someone to hold?/ Who knows how to love without being told," highlighting the universal need for human connection and the desire for a love that is effortless and genuine.


"Soulmate" also addresses the transient nature of relationships - while most relationships are good, they do not always end up being permanent. Natasha's belief in the existence of a soulmate for everyone is her way of holding onto the hope of finding a love that will last a lifetime.


Overall, "Soulmate" is a hopeful song that speaks to the heart's desire for a genuine connection with another person. Natasha's effortless vocals, combined with the soulful instrumentals, make it a poignant ballad that is relatable to anyone who has ever searched for their soulmate.
