Hey Soul Sister
Warblers Lyrics

Hey, hey, hey
Repeating the greeting to get attention

Tonight
Emphasizing that this is happening right now

(Hey) hey
Repeating the greeting once again

(Hey) hey
Repeating the greeting

(Hey) hey
And again, repeating the greeting thrice

Referring to the red marks left by kissing the singer's brain

On the front lobe of my
Locating where the lipstick stains are

Left-side brains
Referring to the two hemispheres of the brain, and indicating that the stains are on the left side of one of them

Having a strong feeling of remembering the one being addressed

And so I went and let you
Allowing the one being addressed to do something specific

Blow my mind
Suggesting that the one being addressed had an impressive impact on the singer's thoughts or emotions

Repeating that the artist actively allowed the one being addressed to have an effect on them

Your sweet moonbeam
Referring to the kind of light and energy the one being addressed emanates

Being similar or compatible to the singer in some way

(You're one of my kind)
Repeating that the one being addressed is unique and exceptional

Hey soul sister
Addressing the one being talked to in a casual and affectionate way

Ain't that mister mister
Commenting on a male singer heard on the stereo

On the radio, stereo
Specifying the source of the sound

The way you move ain't fair, you know
Complimenting the one being addressed for their dancing skills

Hey soul sister

You gave my life direction
