A Man and a Woman Lyrics
Little sister don’t you worry about a thing today
Take the heat from the sun
Little sister
I know that everything is not ok
But you’re like honey on my tongue
True love never can be rent
But only true love can keep beauty innocent
I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
No I could never take a chance
‘Cos I could never understand
The mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
You can run from love
And if it’s really love it will find you
Catch you by the heel
But you can’t be numb for love
The only pain is to feel nothing at all
How can I hurt when I’m holding you?
I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
And you’re the one, there’s no-one else
You make me want to lose myself
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
Brown eyed girl across the street
On rue Saint Divine
I thought this is the one for me
But she was already mine
You were already mine…
Little sister
I’ve been sleeping in the street again
Like a stray dog
Little sister
I’ve been trying to feel complete again
But you’re gone and so is God
The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
When the soul wants… the soul waits …
No I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
For love and faith and sex and fear
And all the things that keep us here
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
How can I hurt when I’m holding you?
Take the heat from the sun
Little sister
I know that everything is not ok
But you’re like honey on my tongue
But only true love can keep beauty innocent
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
No I could never take a chance
‘Cos I could never understand
The mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
And if it’s really love it will find you
Catch you by the heel
But you can’t be numb for love
The only pain is to feel nothing at all
How can I hurt when I’m holding you?
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
You make me want to lose myself
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
On rue Saint Divine
I thought this is the one for me
But she was already mine
You were already mine…
I’ve been sleeping in the street again
Like a stray dog
Little sister
I’ve been trying to feel complete again
But you’re gone and so is God
When the soul wants… the soul waits …
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
And all the things that keep us here
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

I think this song is about a man who is reaffirming love after facing temptation. When he says "I could never take a chance of loving love" (a relationship), "to find romance" (a flirtation).
the first line of the last stanza is actually "For love and faith and sex and fear"
Well, since I have "strong feelings" for my wife's sister-- and I know that I'll never be able to do anything about it-- this song takes on a special meaning for me.
Hey Bill...Check out this line...."You can run from love, but if it's really love it will find you". Never say never!
I think this song is about someone who is deeply in love with another person but can't say or show how they feel because he/she doesn't want to ruin the friendship. It's a song about love and fear .. as Bobo says "For love and faith and sex and fear". It sounds like that person just doesn;t wan't to take a chance and losing the love of his/her life by exposing how they really feel for the other person.
I like this song, it's catchy too. I agree with you glamour girl. Hey Billl do you love both your wife and her sister or her sister more? if you love your wife more then u shuld stay with her, if her sister, well I dunno go with your gut, make a move if you know the relationship with your wife is a lie. Anyway, keep on keepin on U2!

I re-read my comment (which I now regret) at least 4 times. There are 32 words, none of which is the word "love". I appreciate the comments, but do not misunderstand me. I simply have "feelings" that I will never express. I acknowlege that those "feelings" would probably turn into something more- under the right circumstances- but an extrordinarily unlikely set of events would have to unfold- and I just don't think it'll ever happen. It's a shame that "what could have been" has the power to haunt me. It's an even bigger shame that I brought that to this place.
You only think it haunts you bill, because you're allowing it to.
Anyway that wasn't what I came to say. I don't understand why MORE people haven't remarked on how uterly beautiful this song is. I'm not a big fan of U2 but my brother is (you might find him floating around here somewhere) and he has almost all the albums so I do listen to them but normally only the mainstream songs or typically popular ones (ie One, Beautiful Day) but this song just LEAPED off the latest album. It's utterly beautiful.
I especially love the lyrics "But you can’t be numb for love The only pain is to feel nothing at all"
