Natasha Bedingfield
Soulmate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Incompatible, it don't matter though
'cos 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

'Cause someone's bound to hear my cry
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
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
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

'Cause someone's bound to hear my cry
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
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
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
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
