Lyrics
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, 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
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided
You’re the one I had decided who’s one of my kind
Hey, soul sister
Ain’t that Mr. 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
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
I’m so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out of 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 Mr. 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 gangsta, 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 Mr. 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
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Tonight
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Tonight
