Hey, Soul Sister Lyrics
Hey
Hey
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 have decided who's one of my kind
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
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 my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind
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
Watching you's the only drug I need
So gangster, 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 be with me
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
Tonight
Hey
Hey
Hey
Tonight
P.S. I love the part where he says 'The way you move aint fair you know'
Its super-fantastic!
Seems to have a lot of 80's pop culture references: Soulsister (an 80's group who had a couple songs out), Madonna's "Like a Virgin", Mr. Mister, maybe even Huey Lewis's "I want a new drug" ("Watching you's the only drug I need"... maybe?), Love Connection (the game show), New Kids on the Block's "Didn't I Blow Your Mind" ("I'm always gonna want to blow your mind")
Maybe I'm reading too much into this song!!
Going along with your 80's references...how about "You're the one I have decided who's 'one of my kind'". A nod to "Need You Tonight" by INXS??

And who cares if you're reading into it too much, I'd rather read that than how much a song makes you think of your ex!

Oh wow! There are so many more references than I caught. Maybe this really was what he was going for.

You're not reading too much in, I don't think. I noticed this from the first listen; the song is rife with 80's references, ie. "untrimmed chest", your references, even the desire to "blow" her mind (the term became popular for cocaine in the era during which the drug exploded in popularity). I like to envision this as the speaker's memory of one of his early, possibly first, true love-esque experiences, and perhaps the event occurred in the 80s, which explains the references. A simple, upbeat and wholly inspiring celebratory look at the beauty and joy of budding affection....

I think it's just about him finding a kindred spirit, a girl who's just like him. And he likes her.
waiiit a minutee... why is many people talking about suiside.. or getting head? is it so hard to believe that certain people just fall hard for love??
thank you! i completely agree with you. this is clearly just a cute love song. anyone who thinks its about prostitutes or getting head or suicide is just thinking wayyy to much into it.

this song is about finding that girl that you are so comfortable with. a quirky, fun-loving, happy-go-lucky girl who makes him feel like he can be himself around. he's totally in love with her.
exactly. the one that empowers you to be the 'you' that you envision yourself to be. the one that laughs honestly at your corny jokes. the one who sends all of your mental 'guages' to overload.

I realize my interpretation is probably somewhat biased towards true love.
Verse 1 At first the writer seems to make an ironic comparison about suicide. The level of depression one needs to commit suicide could be the exact opposite of the glee he feels. (I would assume the lipstick was red.) I wonder if "moonbeam" is a perfume. The writer feels like he's found love at its first sight; his soul mate.
The chorus seems to allude to a one night thing, but I don't know that the rest of the song is in tune with that idea.
The second verse emphasizes how much she gets him (understands him) and how enamored he is with her. The chest hair starts a very sensual part of the song. The Madonna line is obviously a reference to her song, "Like a Virgin." However, I do think there might be a bit of heavily hidden meaning here- but i'll keep that to myself.
I don't think this song is about a one night stand. The writer talks about his dreams about her.
I think he wants to remember this night, every piece of the night.
Hmmm,sorry myIdea, but I think your answer is a little pretentious. You sound like a huge ass hole...suicide? Come on man, this song suggests nothing about death. If anything, I would say it's pretty sexual.

I never meant to imply it was a suicidal song, by "ironic comparison" and then my later explanation I meant that this song was the opposite of the feelings associated with suicide.

The lipstick on his head paints a picture that pairs with her "blowing his mind." The word brain was probably used because it goes along with the idea of someone shooting themself.

At the very least this song is amazing in its descriptive nature. Its one of my favorite songs, and as a writer description is my focus.

Again, I never meant to come...
Again, I never meant to come off as incensitive and hope that your strong reaction wasn't expanded on by a death in your life. Though you might find no comfort in it, I lost my brother to a self inflicted shot to his head.
I'm sorry again for offending you. Please take care.
I think this song is basically about this guy who is really really down. Like, close to suicide. His life is crashing down, and he's relying on things he shouldn't have to. But then he meets this girl that totally changes his mind.
'And so I went and let you blow my mind.'
Instead of taking a blow in the head, he would rather let her blow his mind.
'You gave my life direction'
She gave him a reason to live.
'Watching you's the only drug I need'
He was relying on drugs and alchohal, but with this girl, he needs nothing.
This probably didn't make much sense, but whatever. ;)
Soul Sister = is a soul mate if you're a male.
This song is about being in love with your best friend, which is common these days to say that a best friend is a soul mate. In the lyrics he is outlining the reason why he is in love with his soul mate, obviously of the opposite sex too. :)
According to my brother, it's about a stalker. Don't shoot the messenger! He doesn't have an account.
"Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do, tonight" He wants to see everything she does.
"I'm so obsessed, my heart is bound to beat right out of my untrimmed chest" He's obsessed with her, he's in love with her so much that he stalks her.
"So gangsta, I'm so thug, you're the only one I'm dreaming of" He only thinks about her.
i think it's about a guy realizing he's falling for a girl. He likes her and the unique things about her. It leaves a mark. And he likes it. He's letting her blow his mind.
"The smell of you in every single dream I dream"
"I knew I wouldn't forget you, And so I went and let you blow my mind"
